Second Supplements to the 2nd Edition of Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds : Aliphatic Compounds : Part A: Hydrocarbons (Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, . Carbon Compounds 2nd Edition) (Vol 1A-1B: 2)

Hardbound. In this first volume of the second supplements, progress between 1972 and 1990 in monofunctional aliphatic chemistry, excluding nitrogen compounds, is systematically reviewed and thoroughly referenced. The space devoted to individual topics follows current research and reflects activity in the area. Thus there is more emphasis on reagent chemistry and the control of stereochemistry in synthesis than in the first supplement. However, the reader will still find that less topical areas of chemistry are still painstakingly documented. In short, nothing of importance, or potential importance is omitted.

Libraries should buy it, and I think that many chemists will wish to add it to their private collections. -- Journal of the American Chemical Society
