Organic Syntheses

Organic Syntheses is a comprehensive book written by James Bryant Conant that provides a detailed guide to the synthesis of organic compounds. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different aspect of organic synthesis, including the preparation of alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, and many other types of organic compounds.The book begins with an introduction to the basic principles of organic synthesis, including the use of reagents, catalysts, and solvents. It then goes on to provide detailed instructions for the synthesis of various organic compounds, including both classical and modern methods.One of the unique features of this book is that it includes detailed experimental procedures for each synthesis, along with information on the yields and purity of the final product. This makes it an invaluable resource for chemists who are interested in reproducing or modifying the syntheses described in the book.Overall, Organic Syntheses is a highly useful and comprehensive resource for organic chemists, providing a wealth of information on the synthesis of a wide range of organic compounds.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.
