DESCRIPTION:
Methods for purifying classes of chemicals where specific compounds are not treated individually in the text are dealt with in a separate chapter. This book will show you how. The purpose of this book is to help chemists, biochemists and other scientists purify the chemical reagents which they use in their work. The main chapters describe processes, taken from the literature, for purifying over 4000 organic and 750 inorganic and organometallic commercially available chemicals. This considerably expanded and revised fourth edition includes much new material dealing with modern reagents for natural products chemistry, protein biochemistry and molecular biology. Further chapters describe the methods and techniques currently used for purification in laboratories and prescribed in the text. It also includes many individual compounds not previously covered, and more information is given for most entries, including melting and boiling points, molecular weights, refractive indexes, densities and CAS registry numbers, as well as likely contaminants and storage conditions in appropriate cases.. Despite the fact that commercially available chemicals are often of a very high quality, and quite satisfactory for some applications within science and technology, it is becoming almost as important to know what impurities are present and make allowance for them as to remove them completely

Michael H. said I am very satisfied with this book. It is difficult to make any statements of validity from my point of view as I am not trained in, nor educated in the field of chemistry except through self teaching. This wealth of information can only be the result of a river of sweat churned out by chemists living throughout the ages of which the authors drank heartily who then through much trial and sweat of their own gave it to us as honey. This book holds overwhelming amounts of it's subject matter and the methods to purify through straight forward descriptive techniques. I am very satisfied with this book!. Great for the Organic Chemist Like Carey & Sundberg, Jerry March, the Aldrich catalog, and the Merck Index, (etc.), this book should be a benchmate for the Organic Chemist. It is very good when one requires the purification of reagents, or the drying/purification of solvents. The protocols for purification are usually pretreatment followed by distillation or recrystallization, and can be carried out to give anywhere from moderately pure material, to giving the pure, pure substance.Excellent for the research organic chemistry graduate student or the pharmaceutical industrial research chemist who likes to start with the purest materia. Great for the "Synthetic" Chemist This is an indispensible resource for any synthetic chemist, either organic or inorganic (not sure about the biochemical section). This book has concise, informative entries on the purification of a vast number of common solvents and reagents. I don't know how any chemist can survive without having this on his/her bookshelf!
