Description
There is a vast and often bewildering array of synthetic methods and reagents available to organic chemists today. The
Best Synthetic
Methods series allows any scientist who is interested in the chemical transformations of molecules to choose between all the alternatives
and assess their real advantages and limitations. With the emphasis on laboratory use, these volumes represent a comprehensive and practical
guide to modern synthetic organic chemistry.
This book is the product of the author's many years practical experience and reading
of the original literature. It contains a valuable distillation and critical evaluation of the
Best Synthetic Methods for the
formation and reaction of molecules containing carbon-carbon triple bonds or cumulative carbon-carbon double bonds. A brief review of
each area is provided, but the emphasis in all cases is on describing efficient practical methods to effect the transformations described.
The reader can therefore use this book to rapidly review and select the best methods of performing a synthetic conversion to create or
modify a molecule containing an acetylene, allene or cumulene functionality. In addition, the documentation of a large number of experimental
recipes enables the user to synthesise an unsaturated molecule without the need to access to the original literature.
Included in series
Best Synthetic Methods
Audience:
For general supplementary reading and as a reference book for use in organic chemistry research laboratories. It is also appropriate as
a supplementary text and reference book for university courses and for the practical classes on synthetic organic chemistry.
