The determination of hydrazino-hydrazide groups. Monographs in organic functional group analysis. Volume 5
BOOK
331
REVIEWS
In general, it is a survey of the methods in use, but in the opinion of the reviewer, its real value is to stimulate the interest of the reader to refine the methods in use and to develop more precise ones. AL STEYERMARK,Department

The Determination of Hydrazino-Hydrazide Monographs iu Organic Functional Group
Newark College of Arts and Newark, New Jersey 07102
Groups. By HUGH E. MALONE. Analysis. Volume 5. General
editors: R. BELCHER AND D. M. W. ANDERSON. Pergamon, London/New York, 1970. xv -t-- 391 pp. $18.75. The book is divided into ten chapters and covers such subjects as oxidation, coulometric, chromatographic, gasometric, calorimetric, spectrophotometric, polarographic, and acid-base methods. Included are analysis of mixtures, qualitative and quantitative tests, and the use of hydrazines as analytical reagents. In general, the book is a summary of all analytical methods for hydrazino, hydrazide, hydrazine, substituted hydrazines, and hydrazine derivatives. The book will be of great value to those interested in this field as well as those generally involved in the fields of analytical and organic chemistry. AI. STEYERMARK,Department

By JAMES A. MOORE AND 1971. xi i 233 pp.
Although this cannot be considered a book employing microtechniques, it occasionally deals in this range. The book is composed of thirty-five chapters, but the ones of real interest to those interested in small scale manipulation will be the chapters on crystallization, extraction, chromatography (vapor phase, thin-layer, and column), infrared absorption spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the literature of organic chemistry, and the identification of unknowns. The few pages on the subjects of laboratory safety (personal protection, fire hazard, disposal of chemicals, and first aid) and on preparation of the laboratory will be valuable to all chemists, regardless of their experience. A small paperback booklet of sixty-nine pages entitled “Instructors Guide for Experimental Methods in Organic Chemistry” by the same authors should accompany the use of the text, but no further mention of it need be made here.

This little book is composed of seven chapters. These deal with preparation, properties, and oxidations with periodates in connection with structural studies. About one quarter of the hook (Chapter 6) really deals with analytical methods,
