Synopsis

A companion volume to the Dictionary of Organic Compounds, the Organic Chemist's Desk Reference compiles information from disparate sources to create a unique guide to the principles and practices of organic chemistry. This compact volume includes a variety of facts organic chemists need but often find difficult to locate in other references. This useful, affordable text provides both practitioners and non-specialists access to the many facts and methods that comprise the science of organic chemistry.

About this title

Review

"Conveniently organized by topic, this volume collects a wide range of experimental and chemical literature details that are often difficult to reference or retrieve, and consolidates them into a rich resource. The first two-thirds of this edition emphasizes fundamental concepts such as nomenclature (including ring systems) and literature competency; then the content changes to tabulated data covering spectroscopy, chemical properties, and compatibilities. The brief text that accompanies each topic is accessible to both undergraduate students and practitioners of overlapping scientific fields. This extensively updated new work supplants the first edition and should be in scientific reference collections. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Academic and professional audiences, all levels."
― G. A. Slough, Kalamazoo College, CHOICE, February 2012, Vol 9, No. 6

"The Organic Chemist’s Desk Reference, under the editorship of Caroline Cooper, is a resource that academics and researchers in organic chemistry will find extremely useful in their line of work, be it in class or laboratory. ... I find Organic Chemist’s Desk Reference (2nd edition) to be well written, and very appropriate as a guiding reference. I am recommending to our local university library to acquire a few copies of this outstanding reference book."

"This book is a collection of very valuable information that is routinely used. ... The list of acronyms and informal names will be highly valuable to younger researchers. ... this is an excellent collection of material that would be a worthy addition to any organic chemistry lab."
―Paul E. Floreancig, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
