5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible for Organic Laboratory, September 12, 2000
This review is from: Vogel's Textbook of Practical Organic Chemistry (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
I took an undergraduate course on advanced organic laboratory method and Vogel was meant to be an incredible reference and life-saver. The overwhelming size of the book might seem somewhat frightening yet the useful information is worth the size and money.

Pavia's "Introduction to Organic Laboratory Techniques" might seem to be a water-down version of Vogel. Vogel is extremely well-written and detailed in laboratory tecniques such as chromatography, distillation, HPLC, crystallization, extraction, etc. A chapter is also devoted to discussion of solvents and reagents, which helps tremendously for separation experiments.

Vogel also discusses aliphatic, heterocyclic, and aromatic compounds and introduces spectroscopic methods. Vogel is recommended for advanced lab course that requires frequent modification of lab procedures and reference for chemists.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate textbook on practical organic synthesis, July 26, 2004
By 
Syed N. Hashmi (Durham, North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Vogel's Textbook of Practical Organic Chemistry (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
It has the most trustworthy procedures for the synthesis of organic compounds with the underlying philosophy behind the reactions complete with the mechanism. Even briefly described procedures are easy to follow. An example in point is the Swern's oxidation. It also includes characterization of compounds using both chemical and spectroscopic methods thus covering the whole spectrum of practical organic chemistry. Almost all the other information to be required by an organic synthetic chemist in the laboratory is also included. I do not know of any other single book that can rival the Vogel. I, however, would very much like to see a moderately priced new edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vogel is the man, November 10, 2006
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Vogel's Textbook of Practical Organic Chemistry (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
The new Vogel is not as detailed in basic techniques but does manage to cover basic processes in a way seldom seen in modern organic lab guides. I should be on the shelf of every serious organic and biochemist along with the Fieser & Fieser series "Reagents for Organic Chemistry".
