Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods

Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods Volume IV By Leroy G. Wade, Jr. Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Volume IV, presents the new synthetic methods for preparation of monofunctional compounds for 1977, 1978, and 1979. Once again, sections appear corresponding to most of the possible interconversions between the major functional groups. In addition, this volume contains examples of new methods of preparation of difunctional compounds formed from pairs of the major functional groups. Following the same format as the first three volumes, this collection of reactions facilitates the rapid location of reactions when the functional groups present in the starting material and product are known. It is, therefore, an invaluable tool for synthetic organic chemists and biochemists.Smith, Michael B. is the author of 'Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods' with ISBN 9780471049234 and ISBN 0471049239.
