Description
CHOICE Award Winner
Since the first publication in 1995, the Organic Chemist?s Desk Reference has been essential reading for laboratory chemists who need a concise guide to the essentials of organic chemistry ? the literature, nomenclature, stereochemistry, spectroscopy, hazard information, and laboratory data. The past fifteen years have witnessed immense growth in the field of chemistry and new discoveries have continued to shape its progress. In addition, the distinction between organic chemistry and other disciplines such as biochemistry and materials science has become increasingly blurred. Extensively revised and updated, this new edition contains the very latest data that chemists need access to for experimentation and research.
New in the Second Edition:
Rearranged content placed in a logical progressive order, making subjects easier to find
Expanded topics from the glossary now presented as separate chapters
Updated information on many classic subjects such as mass spectrometry and infrared, ultraviolet, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
New sections on chiral separations and crystallography
Cross references to a plethora of web information
Reflecting a 75% revision since the last edition, this volume is a must-have for organic chemists and those in related fields who need quick and easy access to vital information in the lab. It is also a valuable companion to the Dictionary of Organic Compounds, enabling readers to easily focus in on critical data.

Reviews / Votes
"Conveniently organized by topic, this volume collects a wide range of experimental and chemical literature details that are often difficult to reference or retrieve, and consolidates them into a rich resource. The first two-thirds of this edition emphasizes fundamental concepts such as nomenclature (including ring systems) and literature competency; then the content changes to tabulated data covering spectroscopy, chemical properties, and compatibilities. The brief text that accompanies each topic is accessible to both undergraduate students and practitioners of overlapping scientific fields. This extensively updated new work supplants the first edition and should be in scientific reference collections. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Academic and professional audiences, all levels."- G. A. Slough, Kalamazoo College, CHOICE, February 2012, Vol 9, No. 6
"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. ... I find Organic Chemist's Desk Reference (2nd edition) to be well written, and very appropriate as a guiding reference. I am recommending to our local university library to acquire a few copies of this outstanding reference book."

"This book is a collection of very valuable information that is routinely used. ... The list of acronyms and informal names will be highly valuable to younger researchers. ... this is an excellent collection of material that would be a worthy addition to any organic chemistry lab."
