The second edition of this classic text book has been completely
revised, updated, and extended to include chapters on biomimetic
amination reactions, Wacker oxidation, and useful domino reactions.
The first-class author team with long-standing experience in practical
courses on organic chemistry covers a multitude of preparative
procedures of reaction types and compound classes indispensable in
modern organic synthesis. Throughout, the experiments are accompanied by
the theoretical and mechanistic fundamentals, while the clearly
structured sub-chapters provide concise background information,
retrosynthetic analysis, information on isolation and purification,
analytical data as well as current literature citations. Finally, in
each case the synthesis is labeled with one of three levels of
difficulty.
An indispensable manual for students and lecturers in chemistry, organic
chemists, as well as lab technicians and chemists in the pharmaceutical
and agrochemical industries.
