Operational Organic Chemistry: A Problem-Solving Approach to the Laboratory Course John W. Lehman
For sophomore-level organic lab courses. This text/lab manual helps students master the fundamental laboratory operations of organic chemistry and develop critical-thinking skills through scientific problem solving. *Thirty new experiments and minilabs Includes a techniques experiment on vacuum distillation and polarimetry, a Wittig synthesis, a nucleophilic substitution reaction of an ambident nucleophile, and a multi-step synthesis involving a ring contraction. *Increased emphasis on scientific methodology and problem-solving Each experiment presents a scenario *Additional exercises in each experiment. *Margin flags *Many experiments that use common or household compounds. *
