A small-scale approach to organic laboratory techniques

Featuring new experiments, a new essay, and new coverage of nanotechnology, this organic chemistry laboratory book offers a comprehensive treatment of laboratory techniques including small-scale and some microscale methods that use standard-scale ("macroscale") glassware and equipment. The book is organized based on essays and topics of current interest and covers a large number of traditional organic reactions and syntheses, as well as experiments with a biological or health science focus. Seven introductory technique-based experiments, thirteen project-based experiments, and sections on green chemistry and biofuels, spark reader interest.
