SynopsisThis practical laboratory book provides both microscale and multiscale experiments. It encourages readers to think in the laboratory by solving a scientific problem in the process of carrying out an experiment. An "operational" approach is featured, equipping readers to master the major lab operations as they carry out problem solving experiments. Over 400 problems and exercises are provided. A valuable reference for organic chemists and chemical technicians., For the undergraduate organic chemistry course. This practical laboratory text provides a thorough introduction to the core operations in the organic lab in addition to both microscale and traditional-scale experiments. Its unique problem-solving approach encourages students to think in the laboratory by solving a scientific problem in the process of carrying out each experiment.
