Written for research chemists and advanced students of chemistry, this book discusses concepts, methods, starting materials, and some target molecules that are important to modern organic synthesis. It also describes applications to retrosynthetic analysis and introduces the design of synthetic plans. Criteria for the selection of methods were generality, simplicity, and didactic usefulness. The authors summarize important concepts at the beginning of each chapter. These include the synthon approach, systematic evaluation of the arrangement of functionality, strategies for achieving regio- and stereoselectivity in carbon-carbon bond formation and functional group conversions, strategies for enforcing thermodynamically unfavorable group conversions, and retro-synthetic analysis. The book also includes a list of commercially available starting materials. A selection of more complex procedures indicates the possibilities of organic synthesis.

From the Publisher

The methods described are chosen for their efficiency, elegance, and didactic value. Retrosynthetic analysis and the synthon approach are presented. Features include: noval stereoselective reactions, extensive tables listing commercially available starting materials and approximate list prices per 10g, and an additional chapter "Nanometer-Sized Architecture" contains outstanding examples of molecular assemblies and self-replicating systems.

Store Description

The Reader's Corner is such fun,it's too bad you have to buy our books on line. We have eight foot tall outside bookshelves across the entire front of the store. There is a money slot in the door for night sales, which go to support National Public Radio. Inside, which can be too crowded at times, are surprisingly good books, only 1% are ever listed on-line. We also sell records, music cd's, comic books, mags, computer software and games. Best of all is the found art decorating every spare spot. The motto on the front door: NO SHOOTING, NO SMOKING, NO MOONING THE MANAGEMENT.
