• Flexible Content

Along with the traditional experiments, it offers a broad menu of discovery experiments and integrated exercises on molecular modeling. The flexibility of choosing starting materials, characterization methods, and either microscale or miniscale procedures. The accompanying CD illustrates computer simulations of experiments.

• Engaging Material

Experiments illustrating a wide variety of reactions challenge students to think critically. Discovery-oriented experiments require students to do "detective work" because the results are not always a foregone conclusion.

• User-Friendly Organization

This text offers a combination of experiments illustrating reactions covered in most organic chemistry textbooks providing additional reinforcement of topics with multiple experiments to choose from. The organization of the material is clearly defined, allowing the instructor the flexibility to coordinate the lecture with the laboratory experiments.

• Web Support

The web site includes pertinent information about experiments beyond that available in the text, alternate experiments to choose from that are not included in the book, an instructor's, lab technician's and solutions manual, electronic laboratory reports and links to other useful sites.
