Synopsis

This book is intended to provide guidance to undergraduate students on the essential experimental techniques used in a typical undergraduate lab. This knowledge will not only help them to perform experimental work but will also help them extend their knowledge to face greater challenges during their postgraduate classes as well as in project-based research.

• Written in two parts, the first part is devoted to the basic concepts of safety, instrumentation, apparatus, techniques for purification and separation of organic compounds. The second part is devoted to preparatory methods for synthesis of organic compounds.
• Some new green preparations which are now available have been included wherever the information was available.
• Gives in-depth visual description of the safety methods, experimental setup, apparatus setup and end products obtained in the preparations wherever required.
• The background of the reaction, safety considerations for handling of reagents, chemicals and products, concepts learnt from the experiments and utility of the exercise have been given special attention.
• A special note of the things to remember while performing the experiments, based on the experience of the authors, has been included especially for the benefit of the students.
