The Synthetic Organic Chemist's Companion
"An absolute strength of the book is the many case studies which the author uses, from his wealth of experience, to illustrate a technique or to advertise a best practice." Rolf Breinbauer, SYNTHESIS 2008, pp. 1486-1486"There is a wealth of practical advice on both everyday lab practices and also special problems . . . the book is an excellent reminder of a number of key considerations and techniques for organic lab veterans. The book is written in a concise, easy-to-read style, and it includes numerous illustrations." (Journal of Natural Products, 2011) …this is an excellent book for an academic synthetic laboratory to have available as required reading for each new student (undergraduate or graduate) as they being their training in synthetic organic chemistry." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, February 2008)"Learning tricks from Pirrung will be useful for undergraduate students and lab technicians." (CHOICE, January 2008)"I am certain that he [the author] will find well-worn copies in many labs, read and reread by both experienced and inexperienced chemists…" (Journal of Chemical Education, November 2007)
