I endorse recommendation on book Purification of Lab Chemicals as valuable text as even though no longer in lab its a great source for basic physical properties/general how to approach info for reports and sourcing questions (although I have older 3rd addition that does not list Claisen alkali).<br />CMCguyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
