The eighth edition of this handbook continues the great tradition of dedicated research to qualitative organic chemistry.

The Systematic Identification of Organic Compounds explains how to identify organic compounds through step-by-step instructions.

Topics include:

• elemental analysis
• solubility
• infrared spectra
• nuclear magnetic resonance spectra
• mass spectra
• classification tests
• preparation of a derivative

Most directions for experiments are described in micro or mini scales. Discusses chromatography, distillations and the separation of mixtures. Questions and problems emphasize the skills required in identifying unknown samples.
