Operational organic chemistry: a problem-solving approach to the laboratory course

This comprehensive laboratory text provides a thorough introduction to all ofthe significant operations used in the organic lab and includes a large selection of traditional-scale experiments and minilabs. Its unique problem-solvingapproach encourages students to think in the laboratory by solving a scientific problem in the process of carrying out each experiment. The Fourth Edition contains a new introductory section, "Chemistry and the Environment," which includes a discussion of the principles of green chemistry. Several green experiments have been added, and some experiments from the previous editions have been revised to make them greener.
