Laboratory Manual Of Organic Synthesis by M. N. Khramkina

This book explains the modern theoretical concepts of organic chemistry to the extent needed for carrying out synthesis. A more detailed exposition of theoretical aspects, especially those involving the reaction mechanisms, is given in textbooks of organic chemistry.

This textbook presents a large number of syntheses. The greatest attention is devoted to laboratory operations which are of practical and methodological importance. If need be, a laboratory operation in a given subject can be replaced by a similar one in the students’ future speciality. In addition, when there is a large number of syntheses, the instructor can select those needed for review problems to see how well the students have learned their material.

Certain guides to organic synthesis were used when the textbook was being written.

This edition of the textbook has new material on the mechanism of individual reactions and a chapter on the identification of organic compounds.

Translated from the Russian by Nicholas Bobrov
