Practical Organic Chemistry

The book has been written to provide assistance to the undergraduate students of various Universities. The Organic Practicals have been written taking care of the green route to synthesis in organic chemistry with minimum use of chemicals.
The book covers synthesis of organic derivatives of compounds with different functional groups. Methodology has been given in detail for carrying out systematic functional group analysis and estimation of functional group analysis.
The book also covers basic principles of crystallisation, application and importance of melting/boiling point determination in detail.
Chromatographic separation by different chromatographic techniques involving paper, thin layer and column are described. Isolation of active components from different sources and identification of organic compounds by IR and NMR techniques has also been covered.
The book carries a very comprehensive coverage of all aspects from calculations for preparation of reagents to observations and writing of results.
“Practicals made easy” is the slogan of the book. Efforts have been put in to simplify each step to help in solving difficulties generally faced during experimentation. This would thus provide in depth understanding to the students with the habit of scientific reasoning.
