Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Techniques in Organic Chemistry is the most comprehensive and detailed presentation of lab techniques available for organic chemistry students--and the least expensive. It combines specific instructions for 3 different kinds of laboratory glassware (miniscale, standard-taper microscale, )Williamson microscale) and offers extensive coverage of spectroscopic techniques, and a strong emphasis on safety issues.
The techniques manual can be packaged with either version of Mohrig, Modern Projects and Experiments in Organic Chemistry, with an instructor's own experiments through Freeman Custom Publishing, or may be purchased separately.
