Organic Reactions

The latest volume in this series for organic chemists in industry presents critical discussions of widely used organic reactions or particular phases of a reaction. The material is treated from a preparative viewpoint, with emphasis on limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the selection of experimental techniques. Numerous detailed procedures illustrate the significant modifications of each method. Includes tables that contain all possible examples of the reaction under consideration.

SCOTT E. DENMARK is the R. C. Fuson Professor of Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In addition to this volume, he has edited the Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis and is an editor of Organic Reactions, both available from Wiley.
