Experimental Organic Chemistry: A Miniscale and Microscale Approach
Providing even more emphasis on inquiry-based learning, a new green experiment, and more than a dozen new discovery experiments, this Fifth Edition of Gilbert and Martin's proven EXPERIMENTAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY contains procedures for both miniscale (also known as small scale) and microscale users. The manual first provides an early focus on equipment, record keeping, and safety in the laboratory, then walks students step by step through the laboratory techniques they need to perform the...

The miniscale and microscale approaches of this text for undergraduate laboratory courses are practical responses to concerns about the environmental effects of chemicals and their disposal as well as rising costs of chemicals and increased awareness of the hazards of exposure in the lab. Gilbert and Martin (chemistry and biochemistry, University of Texas) have chosen experiments based on the dual aims of reinforcing concepts presented in standard lecture courses and teaching the techniques routinely used by modern organic chemists. Each experimental procedure is preceded by focused theoretical discussion, making the text self-contained yet non-redundant with lecture texts. Annotation © 2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
