Microscale experiments glassware

Microscale organic experiments require you to develop careful laboratory techniques and to become familiar with apparatus that is somewhat unusual, compared with traditional glassware. We strongly recommend that each student do Laboratory Exercises 1 and 2. These exercises will acquaint you with the most basic microscale techniques. To provide a strong foundation, we further recommend that each student complete most of Experiments 2 through 18 in Part One of this textbook before attempting any other experiments in the textbook. 

Experiment 7A is designed to be performed with semimicroscale glassware using a conventional distillation apparatus. A microscale alternative with a Hickman head is given in Experiment 7B however, the scale is the same in both cases, and the experiment can be performed more easily wifh the semimicroscale glassware.
