This edition features the successful format that has characterized the previous editions. It includes essays that add relevance and interest to the experiments, and emphasis on the development of the important laboratory techniques, the use of spectroscopy and instrumental methods of analysis, a section featuring conventional-scale experiments and methods, and a wide selection of well-tested and well-written experiments.
Overall a great guide to organic chemistry lab. Each lab is detailed enough to make it run like clockwork. There is even a section of the book devoted to lab techniques: a how to guide for the novice.
