Textbook in PDF format
The experiments described in this book have been developed in connection with the teaching of general organic chemistry at the University of California at Berkeley. The number of experiments is considerably in excess of those normally performed in a two-semester course involving about sixty 3-hr laboratory periods ; therefore some choice of experiments is offered. Naturally, experiments may be selected for use in a one- semester course. The contents of this book have also been published as Part I of the two-part Laboratory Text in Organic Chemistry; therefore, some references to Part II occur. Part II of the two-part book, entitled Advanced Techniques and Synthesis, is designed for use in an advanced course in organic preparations, and to serve as an introduction to the techniques used in research in organic chemistry
