The Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods series facilitates the
working chemist's search for the most useful functional group
transformations in organic chemistry. Drawn from an exhaustive survey of
the literature, Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Volume 12
contains both functional group transformations and carbon-carbon
bond-forming reactions. Author Michael Smith adheres to stringent
criteria for listing reactions, including real synthetic utility and
reagents that are either readily available or easily prepared and
handled in the laboratory.
A clear organizational scheme-chemical transformations classified first
by reacting functional group of starting material, then by functional
group formed-allows for quick reference and information retrieval.
Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Volume 12 provides an
unparalleled source of information on the methods, reactions, and
transformations in contemporary organic chemistry for the working
chemist and student alike.
