The book discusses fundamental techniques in organic laboratory. Topics that I found very useful are running the reaction (i.e. air-sensitive and water-sensitive chemistry), monitoring reaction (i.e.thin-layer chromatography), working up reaction (have you wondered why ammonium chloride is a good reagent to work up the reaction? how to efficiently separate layers without emulsions?, etc), purifying compounds (i.e. distillation, recrystallization, determining the sizes of columns, choice of eluting solvents,…) The book should be on the shelf of every chemist.

A wonderful book. Whether you’re in need of a nomograph, quick info on your solvents/reagents(as well as some common procedures for certain reagents), or if you’re about a senior-undergrad/1st-2nd year grad student working in an organic lab and need a little refresher crash course, this book has it all(in a general sense). Contains a brief, but concise, walkthrough of considerations before starting a desired reaction all the way through the work-up and purification(very, very nice). As the previous reviewer said, and I agree completely, this book is a must-have for any organic chemist. (Customer Review).

Product Description:
The first edition of this book achieved considerable success due to its ease of use and practical approach, and to the clear writing style of the authors. The preparation of organic compounds is still central to many disciplines, from the most applied to the highly academic and, more tan ever is not limited to chemists. With an emphasis on the most up-to-date techniques commonly used in organic syntheses, this book draws on the extensive experience of the authors and their association with some of the world's mleading laboratories of synthetic organic chemistry. In this new edition, all the figures have been re-drawn to bring them up to the highest possible standard, and the text has been revised to bring it up to date. Written primarily for postgraduate, advanced undergraduate and industrial organic chemists, particularly those involved in pharmaceutical, agrochemical and other areas of fine chemical research, the book is also a source of reference for biochemists, biologists, genetic engineers, material scientists and polymer researchers.
