17.1 Where do I find laboratory-scale procedures for organics? (Chemistry)
The best introductory handbooks are practical textbooks, eg "Organic" Vogel
and "EPOC" Vogel. They provide a diverse range of experiments that soon help
develop synthetic skills. If you master the preparations in Vogel you are
at the stage where you can start to obtain papers from organic chemistry
journals and reproduce their syntheses. There are also several texts that
discuss techniques for purifying laboratory chemicals, eg [1] The parameters
of common specialist synthetic procedures usually are fully described in
specialist texts that will only normally be available in chemistry department
libraries ( eg Palladium Reagents in Organic Syntheses [2]). Most educational
institutions will have a structured laboratory programme to develop skills.
