Written by a "who is who" of leading organic chemists, this anniversary
volume represent the Organic Reactions editors' choice of the most
important, ground-breaking and versatile reactions in current organic
synthesis. The 15 reaction types selected for this volume include
reactions for carbon-carbon bond formation, cross-coupling reactions,
hydro- and halofunctionalizations, among many others.
In line with the successful recipe of the series, each chapter is
focused on a single reaction, discussing its mechanism and
stereochemistry, scope and limitations, applications to synthesis,
comparison with other methods, and experimental procedures. Each chapter
concludes with a tabular survey of selected key application examples,
complete with reported reaction conditions and yields, to serve as a
quick reference guide for synthesis planning.
