Summary

Provides synthetic chemists with a method for rapid retrieval of information from the literature, listing material by reaction type rather than by author name or publication date. Each updated volume will present the latest synthetic methods for preparation of monofunctional & difunctional compounds. The organization is logical & easy to follow; sections are arranged according to the possible interconversions between the major functional groups. Enables synthetic chemists to keep abreast of recent developments & retrieve a specific piece of information quickly & easily.
