Synopsis

The Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods serves as a handy desktop reference for organic chemists to browse new reactions and transformations of interest, facilitating the search for functional group transformations in the original literature of organic chemistry. Volume 13 contains both functional group transformations and carbon-carbon bond forming reactions from the literature in the years 2005-8. It presents examples of published reactions for the preparation of monofunctional compounds.

The Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods series facilitates the search for quality, selected functional group transformations, organized by reacting functional group of starting material and functional group formed, with full references to each reaction
Presents examples of published reactions for the preparation of monofunctional compounds from the literature of 2005-8
Provides a handy reference and a valuable tool to the working organic chemist, allowing a quick check of known organic transformations
Stringent criteria for inclusion of reactions, including real synthetic utility of reactions, reagents readily available or easily prepared and handled in the laboratory

About this title

About the Author

Michael B. Smith is a Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Connecticut.  He is the lead coauthor of the fifth and sixth editions and author of the seventh edition of March's Advanced Organic Chemistry and the author of the previous 6 volumes of the Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods (Wiley) as well as several other monographs.  Professor Smith is the author of 23 books, including monographs and textbooks at both the graduate and undergraduate level.

From the Back Cover

A handy desktop reference for organic chemists to browse new reactions and transformations of interest

The Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods series facilitates the working chemist's search for the most useful functional group transformations in organic chemistry. Drawn from a comprehensive survey of the literature from 2005-8, this Volume 13 contains both functional group transformations and carbon-carbon bond forming reactions and presents examples of published reactions for the preparation of monofunctional compounds. Author Michael Smith uses criteria for listing reactions that examines the real synthetic utility of the reaction, as well as the use of reagents that are either readily available or easily prepared and handled in the laboratory.

Among many other subjects, Volume 13 covers:

• Alkynes
• Alcohols and Thiols
• Alkyls, Methylenes, and Aryls
• Carboxylic Acids, Esters and Amides
• Ethers, Epoxides, and Thioethers
• Halides and Sulfonates
• Hydrides
• Alkenes
• Oxides
• Difunctional Compounds

Volume 13 presents about 2,500 examples of published reactions for the preparation of monofunctional compounds, updating the more than 18,000 examples in Volumes 1–12. It also contains about 1,000 examples of reactions for preparing difunctional compounds within various functional groups, updating the more than 10,000 examples in Volumes 1–12. Volume 13 adds 99 pertinent reviews, long a feature of this series, in various sections. A useful alphabetical list of all cited authors follows chapter 16.

The organizational scheme classifies chemical transformations first by reaction of the functional group of starting material, then by functional group formed in order to provide for quick reference and information retrieval. In addition, indices for mono- and difunctional compounds efficiently guide the user to specific classes of transformations.

Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Volume 13 provides a highly focused source of information on the methods, reactions, and transformations in contemporary organic chemistry for the working chemist and student alike.
