Is there a good book that contains various methods for qualitative analysis of organic compounds? (Like Tollens test for aldehydes).
Practical organic chemistry is a branch of chemistry that focuses on the synthesis, purification, and characterization of organic compounds, as well as the development of new methods and techniques for these processes. It is also known as synthetic organic chemistry.
Studying practical organic chemistry can provide a deeper understanding of the principles and reactions involved in the synthesis of organic compounds, which are the basis for many important products such as pharmaceuticals, plastics, and agricultural chemicals. It also allows for the development of new and more efficient methods for producing these compounds.
Practical organic chemistry books focus specifically on the techniques and procedures used in the laboratory for synthesizing and purifying organic compounds. They also often include detailed descriptions of reactions and experiments, as well as safety precautions and troubleshooting tips specific to organic chemistry.
Many practical organic chemistry books are designed for students with some basic knowledge of organic chemistry, but there are also some that are specifically geared towards beginners. It is important to carefully choose a book that matches your level of knowledge and experience to ensure the best learning experience.
Some popular practical organic chemistry books include "Organic Chemistry: Structure and Mechanisms" by Joel Karty, "Organic Chemistry: A Guide to Understanding the Basics" by Herbert Meislich, and "Organic Chemistry: Principles and Mechanisms" by Joel Gracken. However, the best book for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences.
