The proposed manual is designed to help a novice chemist to carry out a qualitative and spectral analysis of organic compounds. At the laboratory-practical classes on organic synthesis, students receive known organic compounds according to the developed methods . On the basis of the obtained substances, students should master the skills of qualitative and quantitative analysis of organic compounds .. With the help of qualitative reactions, elemental and functional analysis is carried out, t. e. determine which elements and functional groups are included in the composition of the received connection. The method of qualitative analysis of organic compounds is given in the first part of this manual .. The second part of the manual will help students to get acquainted with the basics of physicochemical research methods and apply them to the study of the fine structure of organic compounds.
