CHOICE Review

A practical handbook of the how-to genre, this book deals with the latest techniques for practicing organic chemists engaged in synthesis. The authors draw on their experiences in laboratories where they have worked and from their own research efforts. It is not the comprehensive encyclopedia to meet all possible contingencies, but rather serves as a reasonable starting guide for solving a majority of laboratory problems. The book deals with solvents, reagents, and gases; typical setups for small-scale and large-scale reactions are diagrammed; isolation, purification, and handling techniques for a variety of materials are covered. Although it is sparse in literature references or synthetic examples, it is nonetheless a useful starting point. It is primarily written for the advanced undergraduate and graduate student; however, it will benefit any researcher required to synthesize organic compounds not commercially available. -J. Landesberg, Adelphi University
