Name Reactions for Homologation, Part 1

"A valuable addition to the literature by any measure and surelywill prove its merit in years to come. The new knowledge thatarises with its help will be impressive and of great benefit tohumankind."
--From the Foreword by E. J. Corey, Nobel PrizeLaureate
An invaluable guide to name reactions and reagents forhomologations
Name Reactions for Homologations, Part I of Wiley'sComprehensive Name Reactions series comprises a comprehensivetreatise on name reactions for homologations. With contributionsfrom world-recognized authorities in the field, this referenceoffers an up-to-date, concise compilation of the most commonly usedand widely known name reactions and reagents. Part Idiscusses Organometallics, Carbon-chain Homologation, and RadicalChemistry.
Arranged alphabetically by name reactions, the listingprovides:
* Description of the reaction
* Historical perspective
* A mechanism for the reaction
* Variations and improvements on the reaction
* Synthetic utilities of the reaction
* Experimental details
* References to the current primary literature
Armed with this invaluable resource, both students andprofessionals will have at their fingertips a comprehensive guideto important mechanisms and phenomena in homologation.
