9781330398708: The Practical Methods of Organic Chemistry (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Practical methods for learning organic chemistry, with clear, hands-on guidance. This well‑structured guide helps beginners carry out laboratory directions independently, focusing on essential operations and practical skills.

Designed around a two-part structure, it blends concrete procedures with notes on the significance of each reaction. The General Part emphasizes how to purify and handle compounds, while the Special Part adds observations that connect practice to chemical concepts, helping students build usable knowledge during lab work.


  • Clear, step-by-step laboratory directions for common operations

  • Foundational purification and separation techniques (crystallisation, distillation, drying, filtration, etc.)

  • Context about how reactions work in practice and why certain methods are chosen

  • Information drawn from multiple editions, illustrating the book’s lasting approach to laboratory work



Ideal for readers beginning their study of organic chemistry or those seeking a solid, lab‑oriented reference in the field of practical chemistry.

Présentation de l'éditeur

"The present book has resulted primarily from the private needs of the author. If one is obliged to initiate a large number of students at the same time into organic laboratory work, it is frequently impossible, even with the best intentions, to draw the attention of each individual to the innumerable details of laboratory methods. In order that students, even in the absence of the instructor, can gain the assistance necessary for the carrying out of the common operations, a General Part, dealing with crystallisation, distillation, drying, analytical operations, etc., is given before the special directions for Preparations. In the composition of this General Part, it has been considered of more value to describe the most important operations in such a way that the beginner may be able to carry out the directions independently, rather than to give as fully as possible the numerous modifications of individual operations. In the Special Part, to each preparation are added general observations, which relate to the character and general significance of the reaction carried out in practice; and the result follows, that the student already, during the period given to laboratory work, becomes familiar with the most varied theoretical knowledge possible, which, acquired under these conditions adheres more firmly, as is well known, than if that knowledge were obtained exclusively from a purely theoretical book. [...] Reprint of the great work by Ludwig Gattermann, initally published in 1896.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
