Experimental Organic Chemistry Philippa B. Cranwell, Laurence M. Harwood, and Christopher J. Moody is an English-language study book aimed at higher education. It addresses the principles and practice of experimental organic chemistry with more than 100 tested experiments.
This reference work provides an extensive introduction to safe laboratory techniques, purification and analysis methods, including spectroscopic analysis. The second part contains detailed, step-by-step experiments that illustrate crucial reactions and techniques in organic chemistry. The content has been updated with new technologies such as semi-automated chromatography, electronic laboratory notebooks, microwave and flow chemistry.
In addition, the book covers current safety guidelines and experimental methods such as transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling, organocatalysis, and asymmetric synthesis. This makes it an essential handbook for anyone specializing in experimental techniques within organic chemistry.
