This practical, well-organized reference delves deeply into
functional group transformations, to provide all the detailed
information that researchers need.
* Topics are organized into the following sections: oxidation,
reduction, asymmetric synthesis, and functional group
manipulations
* Each section includes a description of the functional group
transformation, the historical perspective, mechanisms, variations
and improvements on the reaction, synthetic utilities and
applications for the reaction, experimental details, and references
to the primary literature
* Contributors are well-known and respected for their work on the
specific name reactions.
