With an emphasis on selected organic chemistry lab experiments that aligns with NEP 2020, this book has been thoughtfully prepared to function as a reference for undergraduate chemistry students.

Unit I of the book covers the Safety Rules for Organic Chemistry laboratories. Prior to students starting experimental work, topics such as glassware safety, chemical handling, fire dangers, waste disposal, and the correct use of pipettes and burettes are addressed to instill responsibility, confidence, and awareness. Common Laboratory Operations, including recrystallization, determination of Melting point, Boiling Point, filtration etc are given illustrations. Under Organic Qualitative Analysis in Unit III, students study functional group tests, derivative preparation, and the systematic analysis identification of organic compounds.

From basic acetylation and benzoylation reactions to selective reductions, haloform reactions, and dye production, Unit IV deals with organic preparations. The last chapter on Spectroscopy aims at training students to analyze the spectral data of common organic compounds. Overall this book is aimed at obviating the need for students and staff to refer various books for each set of experiments.
