I do not know what part of the country your located in or if you are near
a university, but if you are their is your best resource. Also talking to
one of the professors in the organic chemistry department after getting
photocopy of your synthesis (recipe) will iron out any questions you may
have. Believe it or not professors enjoy enquirements, makes them feel as
if all their education does have a purpose outside of straight
academia. Looking in chemical engineering section after you find several
synthesis in the organic chem section would probably also be of help as
some times scaleing down equipment design used in industry is a much
better and safer method than upscalineing lab equipment and
procedures. Hope this is some help, remember the help at reference desks
at university libraries will actually do the computer search for the books
you wish to look through as you probably will not be knowledgeable of
their computer system. Just be as specific as you can about the
procedures you wish to perform, and be prepare with several different ways
of naming chemicals your interested in. Just about any chemical under
conventions used over the last 50 years has at least 4 or 5 different
names many the same thing, yet alone common names such as hydrogen
peroxide.
