Summary: "The organic chemistry laboratory is where students have hands-on experiences that allow them to see the how and why of concepts taught in the lecture portion of the class. The lab is an opportunity for students to handle compounds, test the physical properties of compounds, transform compounds into desired products, and analyze organic compounds qualitatively and spectroscopically. Given the learning goals and outcomes, a lab course requires concrete resources for the student to ensure proper training in techniques and methods used by synthetic organic chemists. Ideally, the laboratory text gives a solid explanation of lab techniques and reaction procedures in a clear, engaging manner"-- Provided by publisher.
