The most comprehensive textbook and detailed presentation of the lab techniques organic chemistry students need to know. Compatible with any organic chemistry lab manual or set of experiments, it combines specific instructions for three different kinds of laboratory glassware: miniscale, standard taper microscale, and Williamson microscale. This title provides effective support to all those looking for guided-inquiry and design-based experiments and projects, as well as for traditional lab experiments. This title is for organic students of all levels looking to improve and understand their knowledge of lab work. With new authors David Alberg and Gretchen Hofmeister on board for this fourth edition, both bring copious amounts of experience in organic chemistry. They have been able to revive the writing in the book, while also adding new examples and pitfalls for students to avoid.
Spectra for Modern Projects and Experiments in Organic Chemistry
Tables of Unknowns and Derivatives
New Glassware Icons - The icons distinguish the three different types of glassware and make it easier for students to locate the information they need
New Part 6 Designing and Carrying Out Organic Experiments - Already a strength of the book, this part now includes expanded coverage of guided inquiry and more open-ended lab work
Increased Coverage of Acid-Base Chemistry in Part 3 - This edition gives students a stronger introduction to the acid-base chemistry that is important for understanding chemical reactions.
