This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.

The last decade has seen a huge interest in green organic chemistry, particularly as chemical educators look to "green" their undergraduate curricula. Detailing published laboratory experiments and proven case studies, this book discusses concrete examples of green organic chemistry teaching approaches from both lecture/seminar and practical perspe

This lab manual is organized and written to ensure that non-science majors are comfortable with chemistry labs by making the experiments more applicable to students' daily lives. This approach also serves to make the experiments more understandable. Many labs relate specifically to allied health fields.

Since the introduction of green chemistry principles in industrial processes, interest has continued to grow and green chemistry has started to take roots in educational laboratories of all disciplines of chemistry. Entire courses centered around green chemistry are becoming more prevalent. By introducing students to green chemistry at a collegiate level, they will better be prepared for industry, graduate schools, and also have a better appreciation for the environment. This book includes experiments that cover a range of green chemistry principles, particularly in the field of organic chemistry. Green chemistry, as we know it today, revolves around a set of twelve principles that were outlined 1998. The experiments presented in this text utilize many of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Each chapter presents an experiment that utilizes at least one, if not more, of these principles. This book is targeted for any professor who would like to introduce green or "greener" laboratory experiments for their students in any chemistry course regardless of level. The book is designed to introduce students to the ideas, principles, and benefits of green chemistry and inspire educators to adopt more green chemistry principles in their course.

The second edition of this classic text book has been completely revised, updated, and extended to include chapters on biomimetic amination reactions, Wacker oxidation, and useful domino reactions. The first-class author team with long-standing experience in practical courses on organic chemistry covers a multitude of preparative procedures of reaction types and compound classes indispensable in modern organic synthesis. Throughout, the experiments are accompanied by the theoretical and mechanistic fundamentals, while the clearly structured sub-chapters provide concise background information, retrosynthetic analysis, information on isolation and purification, analytical data as well as current literature citations. Finally, in each case the synthesis is labeled with one of three levels of difficulty. An indispensable manual for students and lecturers in chemistry, organic chemists, as well as lab technicians and chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.
