Overview

With its coverage of 701 organic name reactions and reagents, this three-volume set is the largest, most up-to-date major reference work of its kind. It offers students and professional chemists a valuable resource for conducting experiments and performing a broad range of applications, from pharmaceuticals to plastics to pesticides. Each reaction listing is clearly organized into uniform sections that allow readers to quickly gather the information they need to conduct their own experimental procedures Comprehensive Organic Name Reactions and Reagents offers several features that help readers gather information quickly and conduct their experiments successfully: Chemical abbreviations list the abbreviation, the chemical's full name, its structure, and page references Schematic reaction index offers a quick overview of each reaction Reaction summaries provide basic information about each name reaction Reaction type summaries categorize and organize all related name reactions according to the type of transformation (e.g., oxidation, reduction, synthesis of alkenes, etc.)

Reviews

This three-volume compendium of organic name reactions and reagents is one of the most comprehensive and complete works to concisely, yet fully, cover the topic. This book set will be valuable to any laboratory pursuing synthetic organic chemistry and as a comprehensive resource to chemists involved in the synthesis of organic compounds. (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, March 2010) The addition of Comprehensive Organic Name Reactions and Reagents to any literature collection will likely lead to frequent use. (The Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2010)
