Abstract

THE isolation of pure organic compounds and the common criteria of purity are first discussed. An account of preliminary tests for classifying the unknown compound is then followed by details of more specialized confirmatory tests. Next, a review of the properties of various organic types is associated with information on the choice of derivatives suitable for the identification of specific members of each class. Practical methods for preparing thirty-two kinds of these derivatives are then given, this chapter in particular being provided with many references to the literature. A short note on the examination of mixtures concludes the first part (100 pp.) of the book. The second part (98 pp.) consists of a series of classified lists of various groups of organic compounds, with summaries of the properties of the individual substances and useful derivatives. A short bibliography and indexes are also included. Qualitative Organic Chemistry By Neil Campbell. Pp. ix ' 213. (London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1939.) 8s. 6d.
