Organic Syntheses

Organic Syntheses is a book written by James Bryant Conant, which provides a comprehensive guide to the synthesis of organic compounds. The book is designed for chemists and students who are interested in organic chemistry, and it covers a wide range of topics including the fundamental principles of organic synthesis, the use of reagents and catalysts, and the preparation of various types of organic compounds.The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a particular type of organic compound or class of reactions. The chapters are arranged in a logical sequence, starting with simple compounds and progressing to more complex ones.The book includes detailed descriptions of the reactions involved in each synthesis, as well as the conditions under which they are carried out. It also provides information on the properties and uses of the compounds that are synthesized.One of the unique features of Organic Syntheses is that it includes experimental procedures for each synthesis. These procedures are designed to be followed by chemists in the laboratory, and they include detailed instructions on the preparation of reagents, the handling of equipment, and the execution of the reaction itself.Overall, Organic Syntheses is an essential reference for anyone interested in organic chemistry. It provides a comprehensive overview of the field, and it is an invaluable resource for chemists working in academia, industry, or government.The benzyl cyanide, prepared according to the procedure as outlined, is collected over a 5'0 range. It varies in appearance from a colorless to a straw-colored liquid and often develops appreciable color upon standing. For a product of special purity, it should be redistilled under diminished pressure and collected over a 1-2'0 range.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
