Book Description

0748740716 978-0748740710 June 2, 1994 2
The first edition of this book achieved considerable success due to its ease of use and practical approach, and to the clear writing style of the authors. The preparation of organic compounds is still central to many disciplines, from the most applied to the highly academic and, more tan ever is not limited to chemists. With an emphasis on the most up-to-date techniques commonly used in organic syntheses, this book draws on the extensive experience of the authors and their association with some of the world's mleading laboratories of synthetic organic chemistry. In this new edition, all the figures have been re-drawn to bring them up to the highest possible standard, and the text has been revised to bring it up to date.

Written primarily for postgraduate, advanced undergraduate and industrial organic chemists, particularly those involved in pharmaceutical, agrochemical and other areas of fine chemical research, the book is also a source of reference for biochemists, biologists, genetic engineers, material scientists and polymer researchers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Organic Chemists and Students Must Have!, August 5, 2001
This review is from: Advanced Practical Organic Chemistry (Paperback)
The book discusses fundamental techniques in organic laboratory. Topics that I found very useful are running the reaction (i.e. air-sensitive and water-sensitive chemistry), monitoring reaction (i.e.thin-layer chromatography), working up reaction (have you wondered why ammonium chloride is a good reagent to work up the reaction? how to efficiently separate layers without emulsions?, etc), purifying compounds (i.e. distillation, recrystallization, determining the sizes of columns, choice of eluting solvents,...) The book should be on the shelf of every chemist.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful book for synthetic organic chemist, December 4, 2009

Emmanuel Akinboye (Washington DC, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Advanced Practical Organic Chemistry (Paperback)
This book is a great book to learn about doing synthetic organic chemistry in the laboratory.
It touches every area where a synthetic organic chemist may have problem. It's a good book in every respect. As with all books there is room for improvement. Some aspects needs to be more detailed and specific. This will make the book to be the best in market.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book. Easily readable. Very practical., April 7, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Advanced Practical Organic Chemistry (Paperback)
This is a great book. As a graduate student studying medicinal chemistry, I have run into many situations in the lab that undergrad just did not prepare me for. This book is really helping to bring me up to speed with my techniques. It seems as though most chemistry books are somewhat theoretical and abstract in nature, but "Advanced Practical Organic Chemistry" provides the reader with easy to read (based on the assumption of at least a basic background in organic chemistry) tutorial and reference for many day-to-day procedures that are encountered in the lab. It was easy enough to read cover to cover in just a couple days, but is also so full of info. that I continue to look back and reference it almost daily. While there are several well-drawn illustrations, if I could want anything more out of this book, it would perhaps be a few more illustrations to go along with the assembly of some of the apparatuses.
