Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Volume 4 / Edition 1

by Leroy G. Wade Jr.

Overview

Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods Volume III Louis S. Hegedus& Leroy G. Wade, Jr. Presents the new synthetic methods forpreparation of monofunctional compounds for 1974, 1975, and 1976.Sections correspond to most of the possible interconversionsbetween the major functional groups. In addition, the volumecontains examples of new methods of preparation of difunctionalcompounds formed from pairs of the major functional groups. 1977 (0471-36752-4) 495 pages Compendium of Organic Synthetic MethodsVolume II Ian T. Harrison & Shuyen Harrison ". a valuablesupplement to their earlier volume. Not only does it contain manyadditional examples of methods of preparing monofunctionalcompounds, but it also contains a new section covering preparationof difunctional compounds.. particularly useful for the syntheticorganic chemist who wishes to locate fairly quickly a recipe for asimple functional group transformation." —Laboratory Practice 1974(0 471-35551-8) 437 pages Compendium of Organic Synthetic MethodsVolume I Ian T. Harrison & Shuyen Harrison A compilation oforganic functional group transformations, including 3000 syntheticmethods presented in the form of reactions with leading references.Divided into sections corresponding to all possibleinterconversions between the major functional groups: acetylene,carboxylic acid, alcohol, etc. Other parts deal with the protectionof carboxylic acids, alcohols, aldehydes, amines, and ketones.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"...this series continues to be an important acquisition for practicing organic chemists and chemistry libraries." (Journal of Natural Products, 2003)

Editorial Reviews

A reference that provides organic chemists with selective access to several thousand recipes of functional group transformations and carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. It also offers the opportunity to browse the recent literature for new reactions and transformations of interest. With 1,200 more entries than its predecessor, Volume 8 covers the literature from 1990 through 1992. It presents some 1,400 examples of published reactions for the preparation of monofunctional compounds and some 1,640 examples of reactions that prepare difunctional compounds with various functional groups. It also features 60 more reviews than Volume 7. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Booknews

The new volume of this series proceeds in the same manner as its predecessors, presenting about 1,750 examples of published reactions for the preparation of monofunctional and difunctional compounds. Covering the literature from 1996 to 1998, reactions are presented in order of year cited, but an effort has been made to present similar reactions together. Compounds covered include alkynes, acid derivatives, anhydrides, alcohols, aldehydes, alkyls, methylenes, aryls, amides, amines, esters, ethers, epoxides, thioethers, halides, sulfonates, hydrides, ketones, nitriles, alkenes, and oxides. Also included is an index allowing one to find examples by the name of the original author. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

"Excellent ... .Volume 12 continues the high standard of previous volumes; no library should be without them." (Organic Process Research & Development Journal, 2010)
