Operational Organic Chemistry: A Problem-Solving Approach to the Laboratory Course (3rd Edition)
This traditional-scale lab book prepares  readers to perform the fundamental operations of organic chemistry in the  laboratory and apply the operations intelligently in new situations -- to think  and act like an organic chemist.  Features traditional-scale  laboratory procedures which do not require expensive, special glassware and  which provide enough material for visual and physical characterization.  Contains 115 experiments -- 12 experiments that teach basic operations, 46  experiments that reinforce concepts, and 47 minilabs (shorter experiments that  can be used to fill partial or shorter lab periods). Features many experiments  that use common or household compounds. Provides a section on qualitative  organic analysis. Includes sections on using the chemical literature, keeping a  notebook, and planning a synthesis.  For anyone interested in  organic chemistry.
