Microscale Organic Laboratory: With Multistep and Multiscale Syntheses

by Dana W. Mayo

Book Overview

The experimental procedure section is divided into the following four subsections allowing you to effortlessly organize your laboratory time: "reagents and equipment, reaction conditions, isolations of product, " and "purification and characterization." A prompt in the text indicates that the experimental apparatus involved in that stage of the experiments is shown in the margin of the text. Warning and Cautions are given in boxes and also indicated in the margins. This lab manual allows the flexibility of creating one's own scaling sequence without being tied to prescribed set of quantities.

good book

This is a good organic textbook, but I think a book by other writers would be better.

It is not that bad

This is my first semester organic chemistry course. Even though I have been using another book for laboratory "Organic Chemistry Lab [...] by Charles E., Jr. Bell", this book helped me to understand the concepts better (many times the instructor quized us on the reasoning behind an experiment which Bell does not mention). Moreover, Bell's book is somewhat incomplete. For about 25% of the experiments that I performed, we used hand-outs because Bell's did not handle them correclty. I think that "developing microscale techniques" section was really good to introduce you to the most important techniques that one must master (which Bell does not mention much either.) I think that this book is not as bad as the other reviewers think, at least, relatively not as bad as they might think.
