Organic Syntheses Based on Name Reactions and Unnamed Reactions

Alan Grieve
Any synthetic chemist who has ever wished for a book which lists a whole realm of reactions might just find what they're looking for in Organic Syntheses Based on Name Reactions and Unnamed Reactions...this is a comprehensive reference book which lists a wide range of chemical reactions (more than 450) in a simple and easily accessible form... The feature which makes this book most usable, however, is the indexing. There is a straightforward names index, a reagents index, a reactions index and, perhaps most desirable of all, a transformation index. In conclusion, the authors have put together a well organised and extensive book which may be useful to any student or researcher for whom organic synthesis is an integral part of their work.

In summary, the book is a reference text which provides clear and swift answers to the often-asked question 'to what reaction does that name refer?' Advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students should find it particularly useful. It should be an essential acquisition for libraries and is strongly recommended for research groups engaged in organic synthesis. Its price, good value in soft-cover version, also puts it within reach for individual purchase by the dedicated research chemist.

In addition, the authors include some experimental details of the specific reaction example listed. This unique feature is very useful for the synthetic practitioner who may require experimental information on a given transformation for planning purposes... This book is highly recommended to anyone involved in organic synthesis and is a requisite addition to all chemistry libraries.
