Organic Chemistry: Name Reactions

Reference work covering more than 300 name reactions, delineated by its detailed step-by-step, electron-pushing mechanism and supplemented with the original and the latest references, especially from review articles.

Reference work reviewing 750 reactions, including stereoselective and regioselective reactions. Each A-Z entry provides a carefully condensed summary of valuable information that a chemist needs to understand and utilize these fundamental reactions in their work, including brief practical details. The book is illustrated with real synthetic examples from the literature and about 3,400 references to the primary literature to aid further reading. Indexes: name, reagent, reaction, functional group transformation.

Reference work reviewing 700 organic name reactions and reagents. Reaction summaries provide basic information include a general description and reaction scheme, proposed mechanisms, modifications, related reactions, applications, and cited experimental examples.

More detailed review articles of name reactions, organized into sections on asymmetric synthesis, reduction, oxidation, olefination, amine synthesis, carboxylic acid derivatives synthesis, and miscellaneous functional group manipulations. Each section includes a description of the functional group transformation, the historical perspective, mechanisms, variations and improvements on the reaction, synthetic utilities and applications for the reaction, experimental details, and references to the primary literature.
