Description
Since the publication of
Organic Syntheses Based on Name Reactions and Unnamed Reactions, as Volume 11 in the Tetrahedron Organic
Chemistry series, there has been a proliferation of newly discovered Name Reactions in the field of organic chemistry. Hence, this, the
second edition of this title has focused on the ongoing development in this area of research. The revised title,
Organic Syntheses
Based on Name Reactions, reflects the notion whereby many new reagents and reactions are now being referred to by their names. The
inclusion of over 155 new stereoselective and regioselective reagents or reactions including asymmetric syntheses, brings the total to
over 540. Features that will be invaluable to the reader include over 3000 references, a names index, reagent index, reaction index
and a functional group transformation index. The latter of these indexes will allow the reader to search for conversions of one functional
group to another and has proved a much utilized tool for the synthetic chemist, searching for pathways to perform synthetic procedures.
