Li J.-J. (ed.) Comprehensive Name Reactions. Volume 2. Name Reactions for Functional Group Transformations

John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2007. — 753 p.Name Reactions for Functional Group Transformations, provides a survey of important transformations that are characteristic of the whole range of functional groups and also serve to interconnect them. In the more than six hundred pages that follow, a highly qualified team of nineteen authors from academia and industry has provided an up-to-date account of forty-seven major classes of functional group transformations. The reviews are clear, concise, and well-referenced. This book serves as a fine companion to the first volume of this series, Name Reactions in Heterocyclic Chemistry.ForewordContributing Authors
