Name Reactions and Reagents in Organic Synthesis.: 2nd Edition - Tapa dura

"The number and range of reactions covered makes the book a valuable resource for readers ranging from beginning graduate students to professionals wrestling with real problems." (Molecular Crystals & Liquid Crystals, Volume 457, 2006) "The breath of coverage extends well beyond the confines of a typical undergraduate-beginning graduate organic chemistry course...a launching point to a vast array of named chemical reactions." (Journal of Chemical Education, December 2005) "Users of this well-known collection of organic name reactions will appreciate this updated edition...this comprehensive book contains a wealth of information...highly recommended." (CHOICE, November 2005) "...compiles and organizes the most significant organic synthesis advances to date...belongs in all academic and research environments engaged in organic chemistry." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, September 22, 2005) "...excellent value for the money...will play a significant role as a reference work in the academic and professional realm." (Organische Chemie, 6th September 2005) "...a homerun in the now competitive arena of named reactions texts." (Journal of Natural Products, August 2005) "I found the volume extremely useful and recommend it without reservation to all organic chemists." (Synthesis, April 2006)

This Second Edition is the premier name resource in the field. It provides a handy resource for navigating the web of named reactions and reagents. Reactions and reagents are listed alphabetically, followed by relevant mechanisms, experimental data (including yields where available), and references to the primary literature. The text also includes three indices based on reagents and reactions, starting materials, and desired products. Organic chemistry professors, graduate students, and undergraduates, as well as chemists working in industrial, government, and other laboratories, will all find this book to be an invaluable reference.
