Teaches students to use the language of sythesis directly (utilizing the grammar of synthon and disconnection) rather than translating it into that of organic chemistry.

Stuart Warren completed his PhD at Cambridge in 1963 after which he spent a year as Research Fellow at Harvard with Professor Westheimer. He has been a Lecturer at Cambridge since 1970. His research interests lie in organophosphorus chemistry and the mechanism of rearrangement reactions.
This programmed book aims to teach students to design organic syntheses for themselves. Almost all available books on synthesis describe methods and syntheses already carried out by others. This book confronts the student with the problem of synthesizing molecules given nothing but their structure. The synthon approach is used: disconnections breaking the molecule into useable fragments (synthons) are introduced to the student who then teaches himself how to use them by solving a series of problems of steadily increasing difficulty. Though the book has the form of a programme it is not a conventional programmed text. There are no multiple choice questions. Instead, the student has a planned sequence of problems designed to demonstrate the use of each new concept and to test his understanding of it. Each problem is followed by possible solutions and full explanations, so that if the student fails to solve a problem he will still understand the answer better for having attempted the problem himself. The student therefore has the possibility of continuous self-assessment through the use of a large number of problems.

Condition: Bueno. : Este libro enseña a los estudiantes a utilizar el lenguaje de la síntesis directamente, empleando la gramática de los sintones y la desconexión, en lugar de traducirlo al lenguaje de la química orgánica. Confronta al estudiante con el problema de sintetizar moléculas dadas únicamente sus estructuras. Se utiliza el enfoque del sintón: se introducen al estudiante desconexiones que rompen la molécula en fragmentos utilizables (sintones), quien luego aprende a utilizarlos resolviendo una serie de problemas de dificultad creciente.Escrito por Stuart Warren, este libro es una introducción programada al enfoque de los sintones en el diseño de síntesis orgánica.
