Bates R.B., Schaefer J.P. Research Techniques In Organic Chemistry

Prentice-Hall, Inc. Englewood Cliffs, N.J., 1971. - 125+16 pages.This book is intended to serve as a guide for students who have completed at least two semesters of organic laboratory and are beginning organic research as advanced undergraduates or first year graduate students. In a short book on a broad topic, an attempt has been made to include many bits of information useful at this stage of expertise and to provide a reasonably complete survey of the laboratory techniques currently most important to organic chemists. The emphasis in presenting the techniques is on practical aspects. Thus, the scope of each method is discussed and,
where expensive equipment is required, the approximate cost is given.Reaction techniques: reaction vessels, reagents, agitation, atmosphere over reaction, temperature control, case studies illustrating special techniques.
Isolation techniques: extraction, crystallization, sublimation, distillation, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography
Structure determination techniques: identity with an authentic sample, molecular formula, major rapid methods for structural formula, stereoformula and conformation.
