Description
Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach is the long-awaited second edition of a classic textbook; the first to provide a structured course in retrosynthesis- now an important technique used by generations of organic chemists. Now fully revised and updated with a modern look, 25 years of advances in organic synthesis are reflected with the addition of new examples and synthetic pathways. Additional material has been added to take the student to the level required by the bestselling sequel, "Organic Synthesis: Strategy and Control" and the later chapters have extensive new material based on courses that the authors give to chemists in the pharmaceutical industry.
Reviews / Votes
?The authors have succeeded admirably in the updating of a classic in the pedagogy of organic chemistry.? ( Journal of Medicinal Chemistry , August 2009) ?This book is suitable for advanced undergraduate students, researchers and professional chemists. Both the writing and the diagrams are simple and clear.? ( Reviews, May 2009)More details
