About this title

From the Back Cover:

Acclaim for previous volumes of Fiesers

"Essential for chemistry collections at the university and research levels."

--New York Public Library

"Highly recommended . . . lots of succinct, practical information on recent developments . . . in a format that is easy to use. The reagents are taken up in alphabetical order (common usage names, not CAS indexing codenames), sometimes several to a page, sometimes several pages to a reagent. One can expect to find how to make the reagent (in loose terms), or where it can be bought, what it is good for, and where to seek complete details. As with previous volumes, one can profit from just browsing, even if one does not feel a need to look up any particular subject. It is thus a secondary function of the book to help one keep abreast of the field, and it would be a rare chemist who would not learn something new and useful from a casual perusal of the pages."

--Journal of the American Chemical Society

This highly successful series has provided generations of professional chemists and students with a comprehensive, up-to-date examination of the reagent literature. Volume 28 surveys the most important synthetic methodologies published from July 2011 through December 2012. It continues to emphasize chiral catalysis and organocatalysis as well as catalytic reactions by derivatives of noble metals and reactions mediated by salts of copper, iron, and indium. Readers will also find extensive coverage of C-H bond activation by metal species.

Listed by common name, each entry features concise descriptions, illustrations of chemical reactions, examples of applications, and references for further investigation.
