CHEM 207: Organic Chemistry

(print) Methods of identifying unknown organic compounds with some tables of short list of compounds listed by melting/ boiling point and functional groups.

(online & print) Laboratory Techniques in Organic Chemistry is the most comprehensive and detailed presentation of the lab techniques organic chemistry students need to know. Compatible with any organic chemistry lab manual or set of experiments, it combines specific instructions for three different kinds of laboratory glassware: miniscale, standard taper microscale, and Williamson microscale. It is written to provide effective support for guided-inquiry and design-based experiments and projects, as well as for traditional lab experiments.

(print) From biofuels, green chemistry, and nanotechnology, this proven laboratory textbook provides the up-to-date coverage students need in their coursework and future careers. The book's experiments, all designed to utilize microscale glassware and equipment, cover traditional organic reactions and syntheses, the isolation of natural products, and molecular modeling and include project-based experiments and experiments that have a biological or health science focus. Updated throughout with new and revised experiments, new and revised essays, and revised and expanded techniques, the Fifth Edition is organized based on essays and topics of current interest.

(print) This Organic Chem Survival Manual, 9e presents the basic techniques of the organic chemistry laboratory with an emphasis on doing the work correctly the first time. New to this edition are: Safety in the laboratory, always a primary concern, one now has to consider the addition of such technology as the iPad, the Nook, the Kindle, and even text messaging where applicable; Microscale where applicable, has been reviewed and updated; A discussion of the technique of Attenuated Total Reflectance and associated practices has been added to the section on Infra-Red Spectroscopy; The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance discussion and presentation has been re-worked such that the different methods of sample preparation, and instrument operation for continuous-wave and FT-NMR have been made to contrast more sharply. A number of NMR spectra, with suggestions on presentation of the data, and basic interpretation have also been added; and lastly, presentation of a more modern outline of the instrumentation of HPLC includes discussion of automatic injectors.

(Online 2003; 2007 Print) Intended for students of intermediate organic chemistry, this text shows how to write a reasonable mechanism for an organic chemical transformation. The discussion is organized by types of mechanisms and the conditions under which the reaction is executed, rather than by the overall reaction as is the case in most textbooks. Each chapter discusses common mechanistic pathways and suggests practical tips for drawing them. Worked problems are included in the discussion of each mechanism, and "common error alerts" are scattered throughout the text to warn readers about pitfalls and misconceptions that bedevil students.

(Print) Gain a deeper understanding of reactions, mechanisms, and synthetic analysis and their practical applications as Organic Chemistry breaks down topics using a sensible organization based on the concept that an organic molecule's structure will determine its function.

(Print) With authors who are both accomplished researchers and educators, Vollhardt and Schore's Organic Chemistry takes a functional group approach with a heavy emphasis on understanding how the structure of a molecule determines how that molecule will function in chemical reactions. By understanding the connection between structure and function, students will be better prepared to understand mechanisms and solve practical problems in organic chemistry.

(Print)

(Print) Learn how to write resonance structures and become comfortable with bond-making and bond-breaking steps in organic mechanisms. A paper-on-pencil approach uses active involvement and repetition to teach you to properly push electrons to generate resonance structures and write organic mechanisms with a minimum of memorization.
