„Unlike many previous books on name reactions, which present manyreactions but treat them superficially, this book provides anexcellent selection of useful name reactions, which have been givenin depth, well-illustrated, instructional, and well-referencedaccounts.“ (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, February 2008)
„Helps you explore how you think, communicate and react, allowing you to change your behaviours and become a more expertprofessional practitioner.“ (Journal of PerioperativePractice, April 2008)
„Reading this book has been enjoyable experience. Again andagain, one comes across surprising reaction possibilities ofwell-known reagents, or some lesser known variants of commontransformations.“ (Angewandte Chemie)
„This book provides an excellent selection of useful namereactions, which have been given in depth, well-illustrated, instructional, and well-referenced accounts.“ (Journal ofMedicinal Chemistry, January 11, 2008)
This practical, well-organized reference delves deeply intofunctional group transformations, to provide all the detailedinformation that researchers need.
* Topics are organized into the following sections: oxidation, reduction, asymmetric synthesis, and functional groupmanipulations
* Each section includes a description of the functional grouptransformation, the historical perspective, mechanisms, variationsand improvements on the reaction, synthetic utilities andapplications for the reaction, experimental details, and referencesto the primary literature
