Academic Press Organic Laboratory Experiments of the Future: Doing Chemistry in Water

This lab manual offers students the opportunity to learn organic chemistry through a green chemistry lens, resulting in a more sustainable, future-looking course. Lipshutz and Muchalski’s Organic Laboratory Experiments of the Future: Doing Chemistry in Water approaches the subject with experiments, diagrams, and illustrations shaped by student feedback and honed through years of research and laboratory experience. Organic Laboratory Experiments of the Future: Doing Chemistry in Water includes material on reactions run in water, including but not limited to: ppm Pd-catalyzed couplings, SNAr reactions, nitro group reductions, enzyme-catalyzed reactions, catalytic hydrogenation of olefins, olefin metathesis, reductive aminations, and chemoenzymatic sequences. This lab manual is ideal for courses in organic chemistry, biochemistry, sustainable and green chemistry, and environmentally-responsible lab courses. Provides practical information and techniques for utilizing green chemistry, and chemistry in water, in particular, in the study of modern organic chemistry. Includes numerous figures, examples, illustrative problems, and appendices that reinforce laboratory concepts and methods. Features coverage on experiments that focus on chemocatalysis as well as biocatalysis; reactions that include Nobel Prize-winning organometallic chemistry; multi-step sequences involving chemocatalysis, or chemoenzymatic catalysist
