The new edition continues to offer a wide variety of organic lab experiments for both standard and microscale formats and features unusually strong coverage of spectroscopy. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book contains an exceptionally strong coverage of spectroscopy. Proton and carbon NMR are well explained, with detailed tables to predict and justify chemical shifts. IR spec is also well explained. A limited discussion of mass spec is also present. The laboratory exercises are clear in most cases, with a few minor exceptions. Be sure to read the instructions before lab as a few exercises contin ambiguous instructions that become more clear if the entire lab is read first. The number of syntheses is excellent, and many laboratory exercises contain interesting procedures that result in various colored, or common products. As a student of one of the authors, Dr. Douglas F. Taber, I have found this book to be a useful reference for spectroscopy as well as an excellent lab text.
