New “Green” Experiments for the Organic Chemistry Laboratories

1. Abstract: This project involves replacing a number of the currently used organic chemistry experiments with equally educational, yet more environmentally friendly experiments. Most of the fuels, materials, and medicines in our modern world have come about through advances in chemistry. Unfortunately, the production of these vital resources involves the formation of waste. However, new proces...

Organic chemistry in water.

Water has emerged as a versatile solvent for organic chemistry in recent years. Water as a solvent is not only inexpensive and environmentally benign, but also gives completely new reactivity. The types of organic reactions in water are broad including pericyclic reactions, reactions of carbanion equivalent, reactions of carbocation equivalent, reactions of radicals and carbenes, transition-met...

Symmetry in Organic Chemistry

Separation in Organic Chemistry

Separation methods used in organic chemistry are briefly reviewed, emphasis being placed on aspects that are frequently ignored, and special attention being paid to the analytical applications of separation. The relevance of physical, inorganic and analytical chemistry for organic chemistry is stressed. The term 'separation' can be used in analytical chemistry in both a literal and figurative s...
