Synopsis

Current indexing schemes do not list reactions and reagents as commonly as they used to. This volume is an up-to-date and concise compilation of the most commonly used and widely known name reactions and reagents in modern synthetic organic chemistry. Reactions are listed alphabetically, each listing providing either an accepted or proposed mechanism, secondary information, and four to five referenced examples. Reactions are cross-referenced to Jerry March's Advanced Organic Chemistry. The second section lists reagents alphabetically, each entry giving structure, physical properties, major uses, preparation and commercial availability, necessary precautions, secondary information, and four to five referenced examples. Reagents are cross-referenced to the Fieser & Fieser series, Reagents for Organic Synthesis, through volume 12.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

An invaluable resource for navigating the world of name reactions and reagents

Current indexing schemes do not list reactions and reagents as commonly as they used to. Name Reactions and Reagents in Organic Synthesis, Second Edition provides an up-to-date, concise compilation of the most commonly used and widely known name reactions and reagents in modern synthetic organic chemistry.

Reactions are listed alphabetically, followed by relevant mechanisms, experimental data (including yields, where available), and references to the primary literature. Cross-referenced to March's Advanced Organic Chemistry and Fiesers' Reagents for Organic Synthesis (both from Wiley), this updated Second Edition also includes three easily searchable indices based on reagents and reactions, starting materials, and desired products.

Armed with this invaluable resource, both students and professionals will have at their fingertips a comprehensive guide to important mechanisms and phenomena in organic chemistry.
