Theory and Practice in the Organic Laboratory with Microscale and Standard Scale Experiments (Brooks/Cole Laboratory Series for Organic Chemistry)

Integrating 56 microscale and standard scale procedures and experiments, this comprehensive organiclaboratory text allows all programs--even those that cannot afford a large investment in commercial kits--to complete effective microscale experiments. The Fifth Edition now features Discovery, Cooperative-Discovery, and Combination labs. Background chapters guide students through laboratory techniques, enabling them to work as real world chemists. This lab manual covers treatment of safety and hazardous waste disposal; coverage of laboratory techniques for the handling, synthesis, separation, and purification of organic compounds; and inclusion of spectroscopic methods for the identification of compounds.
