March's Advanced Organic... | Buy

The definitive resource for students and professionals in organic chemistry, the Seventh Edition of Marchs Advanced Organic Chemistry continues to prove to be a must-have resource for planning and execution of synthetic reactions. Each chapter has been updated to reflect the most recent reaction information with references to both the primary and review literature. Heavily revised throughout, this seventh edition clearly explains the theories and examples of organic chemistry and guides readers on planning and execution of multi-step synthetic reactions, with detailed descriptions of all the reactions.

MICHAEL B. SMITH, PhD, is Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Connecticut. He is a coauthor of the fifth and sixth editions of March's Advanced Organic Chemistry and the author of Volumes 6 –12 of the Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods (Wiley) as well as several other monographs.
