Technique Of Organic Chemistry Vol. II
The techniques for conducting catalytic, photochemical, and electro- lytic reactions are discussed in the present volume.
Electrolytic and photochemical reactions have been used for a long time in preparative organic chemistry but have not found as wide an application as they might deserve. Apparatus for electrochemical work, though very simple, is available in relatively few organic laboratories. Photochemical reactions are employed in the organic laboratory in a rather haphazard way; their potentialities seem great, but at present systematic work is being done almost exclusively on biological photosynthesis and on the photolysis of very simple molecules. We hope that the chapters on electro- lytic and photochemical reactions will demonstrate their merits and versa- tility and encourage their use.
There is no need for emphasizing the importance of catalytic reactions, and much ingenuity has been applied in the construction of special equip- ment. These apparatus, their operation, and the principles of catalyst preparation are discussed in the chapter on catalytic reactions. In many cases high pressures are employed, and the equipment developed for this purpose is equally useful for noncatalytic reactions under high pressure.
