About this title

Synopsis

This long–awaited, greatly–expanded new edition of a best–selling guide offers an encyclopedic and systematic collection of useful synthetic methodology, including tens of thousands of reactions and synthetic transformations. The first edition has been reviewed in the professional journals as "clearly...the first choice for researchers seeking information on synthetic transformations." And as "useful to anyone who must do organic synthesis, especially those whose focus is not strictly organic chemistry. It provides a...clear road map to the synthetic literature and should be kept within easy reach of the chemist′s desk."

Review

"...this book is a wealth of synthetic chemical information." ( Pharmaceutical Development & Technology, February 2005)

"...makes available at one′s fingertips a wealth of information concerning a broad range of reaction types." (Angewandte Chemie)

"This edition covers 39 new journals and numerous additional reviews and books from 1988–95." (SciTech Book News, March 2001)

"...an indispensable reference work for designing and carrying out modern organic chemical synthesis.... It is amazing that so much information is contained in a single volume that is arranged in a logical and easy to use fashion." (Analytical Biochemistry, Vol. 294, 2001)

"...the book is undoubtedly still of great value and every chemist working in the area of synthesis should have it within reach in the laboratory." (Angewandte Chemie – International Edition, 3rd November 2000)

"...an outstanding work of reference...and will be an essential purchase for all synthetic organic chemists in academe and industry." (Natural Products Reports, Vol 17, 2000)

"This new edition is an invaluable resource.... This reference is a ′must have′ addition to the library of any practicing synthetic chemist in the pharmaceutical sciences." (Pharmaceutical Research, Vol. 18, No. 9, September 2001)
