Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Volume 13 / Edition 1

by Michael B. Smith

Overview

The Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods serves as a handy desktop reference for organic chemists to browse new reactions and transformations of interest, facilitating the search for functional group transformations in the original literature of organic chemistry. Volume 13 contains both functional group transformations and carbon-carbon bond forming reactions from the literature in the years 2005-8. It presents examples of published reactions for the preparation of monofunctional compounds.

The Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods series facilitates the search for quality, selected functional group transformations, organized by reacting functional group of starting material and functional group formed, with full references to each reaction
Presents examples of published reactions for the preparation of monofunctional compounds from the literature of 2005-8
Provides a handy reference and a valuable tool to the working organic chemist, allowing a quick check of known organic transformations
Stringent criteria for inclusion of reactions, including real synthetic utility of reactions, reagents readily available or easily prepared and handled in the laboratory

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"...this series continues to be an important acquisition for practicing organic chemists and chemistry libraries." (Journal of Natural Products, 2003)

Editorial Reviews

A reference that provides organic chemists with selective access to several thousand recipes of functional group transformations and carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. It also offers the opportunity to browse the recent literature for new reactions and transformations of interest. With 1,200 more entries than its predecessor, Volume 8 covers the literature from 1990 through 1992. It presents some 1,400 examples of published reactions for the preparation of monofunctional compounds and some 1,640 examples of reactions that prepare difunctional compounds with various functional groups. It also features 60 more reviews than Volume 7. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Booknews

The new volume of this series proceeds in the same manner as its predecessors, presenting about 1,750 examples of published reactions for the preparation of monofunctional and difunctional compounds. Covering the literature from 1996 to 1998, reactions are presented in order of year cited, but an effort has been made to present similar reactions together. Compounds covered include alkynes, acid derivatives, anhydrides, alcohols, aldehydes, alkyls, methylenes, aryls, amides, amines, esters, ethers, epoxides, thioethers, halides, sulfonates, hydrides, ketones, nitriles, alkenes, and oxides. Also included is an index allowing one to find examples by the name of the original author. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
