Description
The market leader for the full-year organic laboratory, this manual derives many experiments and procedures from the classic Feiser lab text, giving it an unsurpassed reputation for solid, authoritative content. The book includes new experiments that stress greener chemistry, updated NMR spectra, and a Premium Website that includes glassware-specific videos with pre-lab exercises. Offering a flexible mix of macroscale and microscale options for most experiments, this proven manual allows users to save on the purchase and disposal of expensive, sometimes hazardous organic chemicals. Macroscale versions can be used for less costly experiments, giving readers experience working with conventionally sized glassware.
About the Author
Ken Williamson retired from Mt. Holyoke College where he taught the organic chemistry laboratory course. He was an established authority on microscale techniques and regularly held workshops and traveled to campuses in the U.S., Canada, and Europe to demonstrate the use of microscale. Katherine Masters is a Teaching Professor of Chemistry, a Laboratory Director, and Assistant Head for Student Engagement at Penn State University. She has developed numerous courses, including two new lab experiences for undergraduates that focus on research in academia and in industry. Her passion is curriculum development-creating new and updated materials to better engage students in their learning.
