Synthetic Sequences in Organic Chemistry

Rezensionen / Stimmen

Jerome Zoeller's book, Synthetic Sequences in Organic Chemistry, follows in the tradition of E. J. Corey's The Logic of Organic Synthesis with examples from the literature that illustrate the synthesis of natural and non-natural organic compounds, the placement of "structural moieties" and functional groups, and how synthetic sequences are simplified and diversified using synthetic examples selected by the author. He also gives examples of twelve named reactions in selected syntheses that use them. The last chapter provides illustrations on "how an optimal synthetic scheme can be developed from a discovery synthesis using an original retrosynthetic design." This book provides useful examples through which synthetic strategies can be illustrated. They come from carefully selected recent examples provided by diverse original sources. Textual explanations are clear, and the ChemDraw illustrations make the synthetic steps easy to follow. This book offers interesting examples using modern synthetic methodology, great for those interested in organic synyjesis.
