Chemistry Lab Manual

Experimental Organic Chemistry

Experimental Organic Chemistry: Laboratory Manual is designed as a primer to initiate students in Organic Chemistry laboratory work. Organic Chemistry is an eminently experimental science that is based on a well-established theoretical framework where the basic aspects are well established but at the same time are under constant development. Therefore, it is essential for future professionals to develop a strong background in the laboratory as soon as possible, forming good habits from the outset and developing the necessary skills to address the challenges of the experimental work. This book is divided into three parts. In the first, safety issues in laboratories are addressed, offering tips for keeping laboratory notebooks. In the second, the material, the main basic laboratory procedures, preparation of samples for different spectroscopic techniques, Microscale, Green Chemistry, and qualitative organic analysis are described. The third part consists of a collection of 84 experiments, divided into 5 modules and arranged according to complexity. The last two chapters are devoted to the practices at Microscale Synthesis and Green Chemistry, seeking alternatives to traditional Organic Chemistry. - Organizes lab course coverage in a logical and useful way - Features a valuable chapter on Green Chemistry Experiments - Includes 84 experiments arranged according to increasing complexity

Laboratory Manual of Organic Chemistry

About the Book: The manual has been thoroughly revised, several new experiments and tests have been added while some redundant material has been deleted. Chapter 2 has been completely rewritten. An obvious change of this edition constitutes the splitting of Chapter 7 into two separate Chapters. Tables on derivatives of organic compounds have been expended. Also included are 20 estimations, 75 preparations and isolation experiments and approximately 135 in-text questions related to the experiments. The approximation of modern spectroscopic techniques to structure determination have been discussed in the last Chapter. This book is designed both for undergraduate and postgraduate level students with its enhanced and comprehensive presentation. This is an indispensable book for organic chemistry practicals. About the Author: Dr. Raj K. Bansal received his M.S. from the University of California, Davis, Calif, U.S.A., and Ph.D. from Calgary University, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the National Research Council (N.R.C.) of Canada in Halifax, N.S., Canada, followed by a Research Associateship at the Mellon Institute of Science, Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh Pa., U.S.A. Dr. Bansal has published a number of research papers in various foreign and Indian scientific journals. He is the author of six books on chemistry including this work-A Textbook of Organic Chemistry (5th ed., 2007), Organic Chemistry-Problems and Solutions (2nd edn., 2006), and Heterocyclic Chemistry (4th edn., 2005). One of his books, Synthetic Approaches in Organic Chemistry has been reprinted by Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Sudbury, Massachusetts, U.S.A. Dr. Bansal was a former Professor, Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, Hauz Khas, New Delhi.
