We describe the design of an efficient waterless condenser for use in chemical synthesis, which exists in two different sizes. This laboratory equipment displays performances comparable to those of conventional water-jacketed glass condensers across a broad range of organic solvents. It is most effective when fitted with a Teflon cap containing a safety valve. The condenser with the smallest cross-section is particularly suitable for reactions using water as a solvent, despite its lower vapor density than air.
