The major goal of the laboratory courses is for the students to learn the various techniques used in the organic chemistry laboratory. Most of the contents of the following pages were taken from the UW-Madison Organic Chemistry Laboratory Manual (Copyright © 1994 by Paul Schatz, Addison Ault and Addison D. Ault) and were modified to conform with the web design of the pages.

     You will also find links to a specific equipment used in the technique.
