This laboratory manual for organic chemistry courses provides an investigative approach for doing hands-on experimental work. It has been class-tested and fine-tuned for six years. It comprises largely non-traditional experiments that are designed to be covered in one three-hour laboratory period.

This updated revision offers total coverage of organic laboratory experiments and techniques focusing on modern laboratory instrumentation, a strong emphasis on lab safety, additional concentration on sequential reaction sequences, excellent pre- and post-lab exercises, and multistep experiments which maximize the number of manipulations students perform per lab period. The microscale approach is low in cost, offers ease of doing experiments and uses minimal amounts of chemicals. A number of experiments include instructions for scaling up.

This book introduces chemists to a variety of techniques which are used in the organic laboratory, including key instrumental analyses such as NMR, capillary GC and GC-MS. Several of the methods, particularly capillary GC and NMR, illustrate the power of modern instrumentation.

This cutting-edge lab manual takes a multiscale approach, presenting both micro, semi-micro, and macroscale techniques. The manual is easy to navigate with all relevant techniques found as they are needed. Cutting-edge subjects such as HPLC, bioorganic chemistry, multistep synthesis, and more are presented in a clear and engaging fashion.
