It is essential that students practise these tests until they can be reasonably certain of accurate results with unidentified compounds. The following scheme for the identification of organic compounds is based largely on an initial classification of the compounds according to the elements they contain hence an error in the identification of these elements may lead a student completely astray throughout the subsequent investigation. 

In Part III, dealing with the Reactions and Identification of Organic Compounds, greater emphasis has now been placed on the preparation of suitable crystalline derivatives. Quite apart from the importance of these derivatives for purposes of identification, encouragement is thereby given to the student to gain experience in small-scale preparative work. 

The application of mixed melting point determinations to the identification of organic compounds has been described in Section 1,17. In order to gain experience the student should carry out the following simple experiment. 

NMR IR UVVIS and MS) were obtained using pure substances It is much more common however to encounter an organic substance either formed as the product of a chemical reaction or iso lated from natural sources as but one component of a mixture Just as the last half of the twentieth cen tury saw a revolution in the methods available for the identification of organic compounds so too has it seen remarkable advances in methods for their separation and purification...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is the principal technique for the identification of organic compounds and is among the leading techniques for the determination of their structures. The technique has also been developed, as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as a diagnostic procedure in medicine.

An early field of application in analytical chemistry is structure elucidation. DENDRAL was one of the first ES in general, designed to the identification of organic compounds from mass spectrometric data (Buchanan and Feigenbaum [1978]). In the 1980s and 1990s a flood of expert systems has been developed in analytical chemistry for different types of application, viz ...
