Overview

Written by a ""who is who"" of leading organic chemists, this anniversary volume represent the Organic Reactions editors' choice of the most important, ground-breaking and versatile reactions in current organic synthesis. The 15 reaction types selected for this volume include reactions for carbon-carbon bond formation, cross-coupling reactions, hydro- and halofunctionalizations, among many others. In line with the successful recipe of the series, each chapter is focused on a single reaction, discussing its mechanism and stereochemistry, scope and limitations, applications to synthesis, comparison with other methods, and experimental procedures. Each chapter concludes with a tabular survey of selected key application examples, complete with reported reaction conditions and yields, to serve as a quick reference guide for synthesis planning.

Author Information

SCOTT E. DENMARK is the Reynold C. Fuson Professor of Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has pioneered the concept of chiral Lewis base activation of Lewis acids for catalysis in main group synthetic organic chemistry. His group has also developed palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings with organofunctional silicon compounds. He has won a number of honors including the Pedler and Robert Robinson Medals, the Aldrich Award for Creative Work in Synthetic Organic Chemistry and the Prelog Medal. He was a founding editor of the Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis and served as Editor in Chief of Organic Reactions from 2008 to 2018. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences.
