Synopsis

One of the more difficult problems facing chemists today is that of "keeping up with the literature." Thus, an organized annual review of synthetically useful information would prove beneficial to nearly all organic chemists, both specialists and non-specialists in synthesis. Weintraub et al. are very successful in creating such an original review.

Key Features
* Provides clearly illustrated structures of compounds in every feasible synthetic pathway
* Presents a general review of structure/activity information for each synthetic compound
* Includes extensive reference information on additional publications available for each reaction discussed
* Yields a current awareness of the literature, ideas for research, and questions for cumulative exams
* Highlights papers dealing with asymmetric
syntheses
* Remains the most comprehensive, reasonably priced compilation of its type

About this title

From the Back Cover:

This handy, inexpensive reference tool is an organized annual review of syntheti-cally useful information. It abstracts synthetic reactions from the major chemistry journals of the past year and includes reactions and methods that are new and reasonaby general. The reactions are presented in a convenient pictorial format designed for rapid visual retrieval of information. A comprehensive table of contents and a senior author index are included.

Review:

Praise for the Series
"This information will be useful to nearly all organic chemists, both specialists and nonspecialists in synthesis. The topics covered include carbon - carbon bond forming reactions, oxidation - reductions, synthesis of heterocycles, protecting groups, and useful synthetic preparations."
--BIOSIS
"aid to the harassed organic chemist who cannot keep up with the never-diminishing stream of new primary literature... an outstandingly good buy."
--THE JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY
