Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Laboratory Manual of Organic Chemistry This book is the outgrowth of almost ten years of intensive laboratory teaching. Practically all the laboratory experiments, in mimeograph form, have been in the hands of three different classes of students, day, night, and summer, each year for over five years, and during this time have been repeatedly corrected. As our classes grew we found it necessary to keep to a definite list of experiments and all our attention was devoted to these. In order to bridge the gap between the particular reaction studied and allied reactions, many questions were added. These questions have been made the basis of laboratory quizzing and are meant primarily for the student to use for his own advancement in the subject to aid him to become his own teacher. A portion of the questions are on the practical work in the laboratory, that is, on the methods of handling apparatus, etc. Many of them will appear to be perfectly obvious. They are, nevertheless, put in since it has been noticed that it is the most obvious point which is most often overlooked. The experiments are, in general, the usual ones found in laboratory, manuals, changed of course in accordance with our experience, and they were chosen for their teaching value and for the good all-round practical manipulation involved. There are only a few innovations. Menthone and menthone oxime illustrate typical reactions even though their formulas may seem large to the beginner. Glycocoll is prepared by hydrolysis, thus linking up the chemistry of the proteins with that of simpler compounds. Limonene dihydrochloride has tremendous teaching value, and the synthesis of camphor from pinene gives an opportunity for select work in an enticing field. The methods described give good yields in most cases, but the yield was not the prime reason for choosing any experiment.
