This book is compiled on the basis of "Organic Chemistry Experiments" （fourth edition， edited by Zhanxian Gao） and with combination ofthe bilingual teaching experience.

The book encompasses six sections： introduction， basic techniques for organic experiments， basic preparation experiments of organic compounds，comprehensive experiments， self-designing experiments， and investigative experiments. Tables of commonly used data， index， and the Chinese-English professional glossary are attached to the end ofthe book.

The book was written with emphasis on （1） basic techniques for organic experiments， including some advanced experimental techniques such as microwave reactions and the resolution of racemates; （2） common scale and miniscale experiments， also taking account of semimicro- and microscale experiments;（3） traditional and representative organic reactions， meanwhile，introducing the concept of "green" synthesis; and （4） training students in basic experimental skills， including developing their ability in experimental design and scientific research as well.

This book can be used as a textbook for the bilingual course of organic chemistry experiments. It can also be used as a teaching reference book for the experiment courses of other related majors.
