The Old Days in Organic Chemistry

A look back at the way it used to be, courtesy of ChemTips. What did you do without NMR, without LC-mass spec? You tried all kinds of tricks to get solids that you could recrystallize, and liquids that you could distill. I missed out on that era of chemistry, and most readers here can say the same. But it's a good mental exercise to picture what things used to be like.
