Description: The Organic Chemist's Desk Reference is packed with invaluable information and is a handy guide to the techniques and methods of organic chemistry.

Information from many disparate sources is brought together to create a unique desktop guide to the principles and practice of organic chemistry.

Key topics covered include practical information for lab workers including properties of reagents and solvents, freezing mixtures, drying agents; storage and disposal methods for hazardous chemicals; tables of spectroscopic data including nmr shift values, ir and uv absorption bands; key data on reference sources; nomenclature and a glossary of terms used commonly in organic chemistry and hints on searching the chemical literature.

This book is aimed primarily at chemistry students and research workers but will also prove invaluable to those working in adjacent subject areas such as biochemistry and pharmacology. Published together with the sixth edition of the Dictionary of Organic Compounds, this quick reference companion will also enable users to get the maximum value not only from DOC6, but also from the many other reference sources which are available.
