Master practical identification of organic compounds with this concise, student-friendly guide.
This volume brings together the principal reactions and physical constants of the most important simple organic substances. It aims to reduce guess-work and help you assign a compound to its class before confirming its identity with class-specific data. Derivatives are described when easy to prepare, and the text assumes prior lectures in organic chemistry and basic laboratory work.
- Learn how to detect key functional groups and classify compounds quickly through practical tests
- Discover step-by-step procedures that connect preliminary observations to final identification
- Find guidance on using derivatives to confirm the identity of common substances
- Use a compact, lab-friendly reference that consolidates core data in one place
Ideal for students preparing for intermediate and final examinations, as well as anyone needing a reliable, hands-on reference in the organic chemistry lab.
