Organic Syntheses

Continuing the tradition of providing information on significant and interesting procedures with demonstrated utility in organic synthesis, this is a compilation of revised editions of Annual Volumes 80 through 84. Following precedent, there is no central theme, but the procedures can be organized into four categories: (1) asymmetric syntheses, chiral auxiliaries, and chiral ligands; (2) reactions that are promoted by metals or proceed via organometallic intermediates; (3) cycloaddition reactions; (4) valuable synthetic transformations and building blocks. This is a hands-on reference for professionals and students in organic and medicinal chemistry.
