Description
Launched in 1995 as a companion to the Dictionary of Organic Compounds, the Organic Chemist's Desk Reference has been essential reading for laboratory chemists who need a succinct guide to the `nuts and bolts' of organic chemistry - the literature, nomenclature, stereochemistry, spectroscopy, hazard information, and laboratory data. This third edition reflects changes in the dissemination of chemical information, revisions to chemical nomenclature, and the adoption of new techniques in NMR spectroscopy, which have taken place since publication of the last edition in 2011. Organic chemistry embraces many other disciplines - from material sciences to molecular biology - whose practitioners will benefit from the comprehensive but concise information brought together in this book. Extensively revised and updated, this new edition contains the very latest data that chemists need access to for experimentation and research.
Reviews / Votes
Reviews of the Second Edition:"The Organic Chemist's Desk Reference, under the editorship of Caroline Cooper, is a resource that academics and researchers in organic chemistry will find extremely useful in their line of work, be it in class or laboratory."
- Tevita Voro, in The Higher Education Academy, UK Physical Sciences Centre, Reviews, July 2011, No. 22, Vol 12
"This book is a collection of very valuable information that is routinely used. ... this is an excellent collection of material that would be a worthy addition to any organic chemistry lab."
- Paul E. Floreancig, Journal of Medical Chemistry
"Summing Up: Highly recommended. Academic and professional audiences, all levels."
- G. A. Slough, Kalamazoo College, CHOICE, February 2012, Vol 9, No. 6
