Summary

Kurti and Czako's Strategic Applications of Named Reactions in Organic Synthesis: Premium Hardcover Edition with CD-ROM is an indispensable tool for both specialists and non-specialists in the field of organic chemistry. This innovative reference work includes 250 organic reactions and their strategic use in the synthesis of complex natural and unnatural products. Reactions are thoroughly discussed in a convenient two-page layout, using color for the first time in an advanced-level organic chemistry book. Each reaction includes a list of main features, a general scheme of the transformation, and a detailed arrow-pushing mechanism based on the latest experimental evidence. It then provides numerous examples demonstrating the synthetic utility of each reaction followed by a list of references. This premium hardback edition also includes a CD-ROM that integrates a PDF master page linked via color links to the text pages of the book itself. A user will be able to go from lecture format to the bookpage and back with the click of a mouse. Together both the CD-ROM and hardback text offers the most comprehensive coverage, superb organization, quality of presentation, and wealth of references for organic chemists everywhere.Due to its comprehensive coverage, superb organization, quality of presentation, and wealth of references, this long-awaited book belongs on the shelf of every organic chemist. * The first reference work on named reactions to present colored schemes for easier understanding * 250 frequently used named reactions are presented in a convenient two-page layout with numerous examples * An opening list of abbreviations includes both structures and chemical names * Contains more than 10,000 references grouped by seminal paper, reviews, modifications, and theoretical works * Appendices list reactions in order of discovery, group by contemporary usage, and provide additional study tools * Extensive index quickly locates information using words found in text and drawings
