Natural Products Chemistry Chemistry of Natural Products A Laboratory Handbook, Second Edition N. R. Krishnaswamy Sri Sathya Sai University (retired), Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, India

This book is a companion to Chemistry of Natural Products: A Unified Approach, Second Edition. It contains a judicious mix of both spectroscopic and chemical methods of characterization of natural products. The main objective is to provide students with experimental details for the successful isolation of different types of natural products.

All the experiments have been successfully tested in class.

Several experimental procedures described in it are unique in the sense that they are not readily available in other books on practical organic chemistry.

Additional experiments have been added to the revised edition as explained in the accompanying preface to the new edition.

The chemistry of natural products can be fully appreciated and enjoyed only by combining theoretical knowledge with experimentation. Students of the subject would therefore benefit by having ready access to a book which provides procedural details of the varied aspects of naturally organic compounds.

Particularly well-suited for students not pursuing a traditional chemistry curriculum, such as premedical and forensic science students, this book presents a standalone approach to teaching physical chemistry in a one-semester course, a current trend in undergraduate education. This new undergraduate textbook succeeds in inspiring a thorough understanding rather than merely exposing students to what they often perceive as a painful and confusing experience. The author includes real-world applications, worked examples, end-of-chapter problems, key solutions, thermodynamic data, and much more to assist in the teaching and learning of physical chemistry.

• Begins with a mathematics and physics review • Includes sample examinations with answers integrated into each topic • Provides a selection of key examples which can be solved cleanly, rather than an encyclopedic treatment of many topics
