Organic Syntheses Based on Name Reactions is an invaluable reference book for organic chemists in academia and industry. In continuation of Hassner and Namboothiri's popular 3rd Edition, this new edition with full colored graphics covers nearly 800 reactions, with numerous chemo-, regio- and stereoselective reactions. A diligently prepared summary of important information for each entry allows a chemist to grasp and apply these seminal reactions in their studies and research work. A general scheme, a brief introduction and a representative reaction from the literature with mechanistic outline, a brief procedure, and selected literature references to assist further reading are included in each entry. Besides various indexes (name, reagent, reaction and functional group transformation), a unique overview (in alphabetic order and in terms of reaction category) enable readers to look through the vast repertoire of key organic reactions and an appendix enriched with general information that is extremely useful to students and organic chemistry practitioners are part of this book. Additionally, an online companion site offers preface to previous editions and extensive reference materials. This new edition is very special with its exhaustive coverage, excellent organization and high-quality presentation and is an indispensable resource for every organic chemist. - A concise reference guide that covers nearly 800 established name reactions that are used by organic chemists in synthesis and functional group transformations. - Provides important information on each reaction including background, mechanism, references, and experimental procedure, a rare feature to books in this area. - Diverse and detailed indexes enable readers to search and find information that is useful in their studies and research.
