A Practical Book of Pharmaceutical Organic Chemistry-I

A Practical Book of Pharmaceutical Organic Chemistry I for B.Pharm second year has been designed as a student-friendly laboratory companion that systematically introduces the basic techniques and experiments of pharmaceutical organic chemistry. The book emphasizes qualitative analysis, identification of functional groups, determination of physical constants, preparation of solid derivatives, and simple organic syntheses so that learners develop both conceptual understanding and hands-on skills relevant to drug discovery and development. Each experiment is presented with clear objectives, step-by-step procedures, precautions, observation tables, and viva questions, enabling students to perform practicals confidently, record results accurately, and correlate theory with real laboratory experience as per the Pharmacy Council of India syllabus.
