Organic chemistry lab book

This laboratory manual is designed for beginning students in organic chemistry whether they are specializing in chemistry or are seeking a knowledge of the subject for use in medicine, agriculture, home economics, biology, or related fields. The authors believe that it is very desirable for the beginning student to acquire an understanding of the more important manipulations and procedures encountered in organic chemical laboratory work before any attempt is made to prepare organic compounds or study organic chemical reactions. For this purpose a number of preliminary experiments have been set apart to be carried out first and are designed to give an opportunity to teach the student not only technique but also important principles involved in the common laboratory procedures. In the selection of preparative experiments to be included, the primary objective has been to choose those which illustrate important general reactions and furnish a pure product in good yields. Several sequences of preparations have been included so that the student may use previously prepared materials and gain experience with stepwise synthesis. The scope of experiments is sufficiently broad to provide adequately for a full years course. Some of the preparations are as follows-diethyl ether, acetonitrile, carbohydrates, acetylene, aniline, n-butyl acetate, ethyl benzene, aspirin, polymerization, and many more.
