Se empieza con una colección de ejercicios prácticos, se añaden algunas fórmulas clave, se introducen problemas tomados de situaciones reales y se salpica con algunos párrafos de explicación: si uno divaga sobre un tema de esta manera, no teniendo el buen sentido de saber cuando ha de pararse, uno acaba escribiendo un OMNILIBRO. Esto es lo que ha ocurrido en este libro.

El objetivo principal y último fin de este libro estriba en proporcionar un amplio y básico bagage experimental de Química orgánica con la mayor garantía de seguridad posible, mediante el método especulativo de la investigacion.Este libro esta concebido para el laboratorio que corresponde a un curso completo de Quimica organica. Este curso lo reciben dos clases diferenciadas de estudiantes, la de los que seguiran estudios de Quimica y los que se dirigen hacia una Escuela profesional (Medicina, Odontologia, etc.) o se graduaran en una Facultad de Biologia. Se tiende a considerar las metas de la educacion quimica de un modo ligeramente distinto para los que tienen la Quimica como objeto principal frente a los que cursan como disciplina complementaria.

Este texto es una respuesta al reto que significa presentar una relación innovadora y moderna de los principios de la Química. El rápido desarrollo de los últimos cursos preuniversitarios está creando presiones sin precedentes que obligan a cambiar la enseñanza en el curso de iniciacion.
