Synopsis

Provides synthetic chemists with a method for rapid retrieval of information from the literature, listing material by reaction type rather than by author name or publication date. Each updated volume presents the latest synthetic methods for preparation of monofunctional and difunctional compounds. The organization is logical and easy to follow; sections are arranged according to the possible interconversions between the major functional groups. Enables synthetic chemists to keep abreast of recent developments and retrieve a specific piece of information quickly and easily.

From the Back Cover

Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods Volume III Louis S. Hegedus & Leroy G. Wade, Jr. Presents the new synthetic methods for preparation of monofunctional compounds for 1974, 1975, and 1976. Sections correspond to most of the possible interconversions between the major functional groups. In addition, the volume contains examples of new methods of preparation of difunctional compounds formed from pairs of the major functional groups. 1977 (0 471-36752-4) 495 pages Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods Volume II Ian T. Harrison & Shuyen Harrison ..". a valuable supplement to their earlier volume. Not only does it contain many additional examples of methods of preparing monofunctional compounds, but it also contains a new section covering preparation of difunctional compounds.... particularly useful for the synthetic organic chemist who wishes to locate fairly quickly a recipe for a simple functional group transformation." --Laboratory Practice 1974 (0 471-35551-8) 437 pages Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods Volume I Ian T. Harrison & Shuyen Harrison A compilation of organic functional group transformations, including 3000 synthetic methods presented in the form of reactions with leading references. Divided into sections corresponding to all possible interconversions between the major functional groups: acetylene, carboxylic acid, alcohol, etc. Other parts deal with the protection of carboxylic acids, alcohols, aldehydes, amines, and ketones. "A very usable volume ... deserves a Wide sale." --Journal of the American Chemical Society 1971 (0 471-35550-X) 529 pages

From the Inside Flap

Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods Volume IV By Leroy G. Wade, Jr. Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Volume IV, presents the new synthetic methods for preparation of monofunctional compounds for 1977, 1978, and 1979. Once again, sections appear corresponding to most of the possible interconversions between the major functional groups. In addition, this volume contains examples of new methods of preparation of difunctional compounds formed from pairs of the major functional groups. Following the same format as the first three volumes, this collection of reactions facilitates the rapid location of reactions when the functional groups present in the starting material and product are known. It is, therefore, an invaluable tool for synthetic organic chemists and biochemists.
