Overview

Organic Reactions is a collection of chapters, each devoted to a single reaction or a definitive phase of a reaction of wide applicability, with particular attention given to limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure, and the selection of experimental techniques. Volume 70 includes two chapters, the first takes a look at the Catalytic Asymmetric Strecker Reaction, the second at the Synthesis of Phenols and Quinones via Fischer Carbene Complexes. Includes tables that contain all possible examples of the reactions under consideration Each reaction is fully referenced to the primary literature

Author Information

Larry Overman is Professor of Chemistry at the University of California at Irvine. He obtained a B.A. degree from Earlham College in 1965, and completed his doctoral dissertation in 1969 with Professor Howard W. Whitlock, Jr., at the University of Wisconsin. After a NIH postdoctoral fellowship with Professor Ronald Breslow at Columbia University, he joined the faculty at the University of California, Irvine, in 1971. Professor Overman's research interests center on the invention of new reactions and strategies in organic synthesis and the total synthesis of natural products and their congeners. Using synthesis strategies developed largely in his laboratory, Professor Overman's group has completed total syntheses of more than 80 structurally complex natural products.
