Advanced Practical Organic Chemistry

This book, Advanced Practical Organic Chemistry, meant for BSc, and MSc students, has been throughly revised in accordance with the latest model syllabi of UGC.The important aspects involved in the practice of organic chemistry have been comprehensively covered in the book and the subject matter organized into three main sections. Section One introduces the student to general experimental techniques of separation, purification and identification of compounds. Section Two deals with the preparation of compounds of synthetic, medicinal, industrial and technical importance. Preparations of a number of polymers and compounds have been described. Section Three deals with theoretical principles and laboratory methods of semi-micro and micro-quantitative analysis. Specific quantitative methods for estimation of elements, functional groups and individual compounds have been described in this section. NEW IN THIS EDITION New experiments on extraction (including soxhlet extraction), sublimation (including vacuum sublimation), decolourization, crystallization, steam and fractional distillation, adsorption, paper and thin layer chromatography for separation and identification of plant pigments, carbohydrates, amino acids and food dyes, etc. SALIENT FEATURES
