This lab manual can accompany any text in general, organic and biochemistry but is highly recommended as a companion to Bettelheim and and March's Introduction to Organic and Biochemistry - 4th edition. The order of experiments have been changed for this edition so that the first set of experiments illustrate the principles of organic chemistry and then biochemistry. Each experiment contains background information and pre-lab questions are provided to familiarize students with the concepts and procedures before they start the experiments.
