Introduction to the Preparation of Organic Compounds is a book written by Emil Fischer and originally published in 1909. The book is a comprehensive guide to the preparation of organic compounds, covering a wide range of topics including the properties of organic compounds, methods of purification, and the preparation of specific organic compounds.The book is divided into several sections, each covering a different aspect of organic chemistry. The first section provides an introduction to the basic principles of organic chemistry, including the structure of organic compounds and the types of reactions that they undergo.The second section focuses on the methods of purification that are commonly used in organic chemistry. This includes distillation, crystallization, and chromatography, among others.The third section is devoted to the preparation of specific organic compounds. This includes the preparation of alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and many other types of organic compounds.Throughout the book, Fischer provides detailed instructions and explanations for each method of preparation, as well as examples of the reactions involved. He also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts more easily.Overall, Introduction to the Preparation of Organic Compounds is a valuable resource for anyone studying organic chemistry or working in the field of organic synthesis. It provides a thorough overview of the subject and is written in a clear and concise style that is easy to understand.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
