It covers all the practical aspects of the subject Pharmaceutical Chemistry II in detail as per the syllabus prescribed by PCI under Education Regulation 1991 for Final Year Diploma in Pharmacy students. It also covers some additional experiments relevant to develop desirable practical skills in them. The text is divided topic-wise into five parts. Part I covers the elemental detection for nitrogen sulphur and halides. Part II covers functional group detection for carboxylic acids alcohols phenols aldehydes ketones esters amides amines nitro group and hydrocarbons. Some experiments for determining the extra elements and functional groups in unknown samples are also added. Part III covers the identification of compounds/drugs/dosage form. Part IV covers synthesis separation and purification of drugs and organic compounds. Part V covers the experiments concerning the determination of the melting point and boiling point. This Manual is expected to clear the theoretical concepts behind each experiment of Pharmaceutical Chemistry II. This would save a valuable time for the students in writing the records which in turn could be ideally utilised by the students in learning and understanding the subject better.
