The Student's Lab Companion

Book excerpt: For undergraduate or graduate students taking organic chemistry lab. Ideal for professors who write their own lab experiments or would like custom labs but need a source for lab operations and safety information. Using a practical, "how-to" approach, The Student's Companion describes all of the laboratory operations that are most often used in a typical organic chemistry course. It provides enough practical information to help students learn the necessary lab techniques and know how to handle problems as they arise plus just enough theory to help students understand how and why the techniques work as they do.
