Practical Synthetic Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Principles, and Techniques

Presents the principles, techniques, and reactions of practical synthetic organic chemistry Practical Synthetic Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Principles, and Techniques, Second Edition is a valuable desktop reference for professionals working in and students studying organic chemistry or related fields. Building on the framework of the first edition, it exemplifies the majority of useful reactions and highlights the most reliable experimental conditions selected by industrial process chemists from pharmaceutical companies. It provides the information necessary for a chemist to strategically plan a synthesis, rapidly select reagents and procedures to maximize success in the laboratory. In Practical Synthetic Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Principles, and Techniques, Second Edition, reaction chapters offer information on the basics of the reaction, the synthetic procedure(s), and scope of the reaction. Later chapters discuss practical solvents and green chemistry concepts. It also guides the reader to a wealth of useful references from the primary literature. Consolidates all the key advances/concepts in one book, covering the most important reactions in organic chemistry, including substitutions, additions, eliminations, rearrangements, oxidations, and reductions Features new content on recent advances in CH activation, photoredox and electrochemistry, continuous chemistry, and the application of biocatalysis in synthesis Updates chapters to include new and additional examples of chemistry that have been demonstrated at a practical scale This book highlights the most important reactions, addressing basic principles, advantages/ disadvantages of the methodology, mechanism, and techniques for achieving laboratory success.
