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.

For BSc. and MSc. as per UGC syllabuses. Develops manipulative practical skill. Starting from simple preparations goes on to compounds involving two, three or more steps based on several types of reactions. Help understand intricacies, theoretical aspects and practical limitations of a known reaction leading to mastery of the art of organic synthesis.

Physical Chemistry deals with the relations between the physical properties of substances and their composition. The present book is intended to serve as a practical manual for undergraduate and post graduate students. I have attempted to assemble the list of experiments from my experience and also have drawn upon the experience of the students who have undergone these laboratory courses and felt the inadequacy of the existing syllabus. I am aware that I have not yet exhausted all the experiments that they wanted to place in this book but I had to make a selection keeping the size in consideration.This manual is largely structured around the standard experiments of physical chemistry. Detailed information on instrumentation, kinetics, experimental methods and data analysis has been covered. I will be happier to take all comments and incorporate them in the further editions.

While the boundaries between the areas of chemistry traditionally labeled as inorganic, organic and physical are gradually diffusing, the practical techniques adopted by workers in each of these areas are often radically different. The breadth and variety of research classed as "inorganic chemistry" is readily apparent from an inspection of some of the leading international journals, and can be quite daunting for newcomers to this domain who are likely to have only limited experience of the methodologies involved. This book has therefore been written to provide guidance for those unfamiliar with the techniques most often encountered in synthetic inorganic / metalorganic chemistry, with an emphasis on procedures for handling air-sensitive compounds. One chapter is devoted to more specialized techniques such as metal vapor synthesis, and a review of preparative methods for a selection of starting materials is included as an aid to those planning research projects. While this book is aimed primarily at postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students involved in inorganic research projects, synthetic organic chemists and industrial chemists will also find much useful information within its pages. Similarly, it serves as a useful reference source for materials and polymer scientists who wish to take advantage of recent progress in precursor synthesis and catalyst development.
