Organic transformations are the heart of synthetic organic
chemistry. The Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods series
facilitates the search for the most useful functional group
transformations in organic chemistry. Compendium of Organic
Synthetic Methods, Volume 9, provides quick access to proven
protocols for the newest, most useful reactions and
transformations. It contains both functional group transformations
and bond-forming reactions, and focuses on the use of reagents
readily available or easily prepared and handled in the
laboratory.
This valuable desktop resource contains over 1, 200 examples of
published reactions for the preparation of monofunctional compounds
in a handy reference, as well as over 800 examples of difunctional
compounds, and features over 30 more reviews than Volume 8. As in
all the previous Compendium volumes, the classification schemes
used allow for quick and easy reference and information retrieval.
Chemical transformations are classified by the reacting functional
group of the starting material and then by the functional group
formed. Helpful indices are provided for both monofunctional and
difunctional compounds as an efficient means of guidance to
specific classes of transformations.
Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Volume 9, is an
unparalleled source of information on the methods, reactions, and
transformations in contemporary organic chemistry for the working
chemist and student.
Volume 9 in the series originated by I. T. Harrison and S. Harrison

Über den Autor
MICHAEL B. SMITH, Ph D, is Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Connecticut at Storrs. His research interests focus on developing asymmetric reactions based on manipulating chiral, nonracemic lactams. This work is applied to the development of new synthetic methods and the synthesis of polycyclic alkaloids with antitumor or antiviral activity. Dr. Smith was responsible for developing a new reagent for determining the enantiomeric composition of alcohols and amines bearing a chiral center.
