Synopsis

This comprehensive lab companion provides a thorough introduction to all of the significant operations used in the organic lab, for both traditional-scale and microscale applications. It includes enough theory to help students understand how and why an operation works, but emphasizes the practical aspects of an operation to help them perform the operation successfully in the lab.

 

The Second Edition makes substantive revisions of many operations to clarify existing material and add new information. Ideal for professors who write their own lab experiments or adopt custom labs but need a source for lab operations and safety information.
