Synthetic Sequences in Organic Chemistry

Drawing on the vast amount of experience the author has gained from working in industrial and university laboratories, this continuation of the author's previous collection of excerpt reports contains essential details from literature relevant to the synthesis of compounds on a milligram to kilogram scale. A number of the compounds that have eluded efficient preparation in the past are now presented. Material which will improve any chemist's existing synthetic methodology can be found here. Each of the chapters illustrates a novel application of syntheses selected from twenty-first-century literature. Key Features: Selected classical and contemporary advances in synthetic organic chemistry are described in a condensed graphics-oriented format. Recent reports in methodology, strategy, and total synthesis are presented with a minimum of background and experimental detail. The graphical table of contents, chapter outlines and enhanced index facilitate the search for specific content and material of interest. The target readership is graduate students, chemists new to the specialty of organic synthesis, and professionals reviewing the current literature. The author’s experience is in medicinal chemistry, organometallics, polymer preparation, and synthesis scale-up for commercial applications.
