Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis, Volume 12

Reagents for Organic Synthesis This widely respected reference has been brought up to date with the publication of Volume 12. Thousands of entries abstract the most important information on commonly used reagents from 1966 through 1984. Every reagent discussed includes the preparation, uses, sources of supply, critical comments, references, and more.Volume 119671,475 pp.Volume 21969538 pp.Volume 31972401 pp.Volume 41974660 pp.Volume 51975864 pp.Volume 61977765 pp.Volume 71979487 pp.Volume 81980602 pp.Volume 91981596 pp.Volume 101982528 pp.Volume 111984669 pp. This major reference work is arranged like an encyclopedia, with each entry providing information about a reagent which has been reported as useful in organic synthesis. Most of the reagents are themselves organic, but inorganic reagents are also included. Suppliers are listed for commercially available reagents; otherwise, a brief indication of the method of preparation is given, along with a literature reference. Concise information and literature references are also provided on the application of reagents. There are author and subject indexes, and a very useful index of reagents by type, so that this reference set can serve as a very convenient point of entry into the literature dealing with a general type of reaction, whether it be a "name" reaction (e.g., Baeyer-Villiger oxidation), a method of introducing a specific functional group (e.g., amination), etc The highly successful Fieser & Fieser series has provided several generations of professional chemists and students with an up-to-date survey of the reagent literature. Reagents are listed in alphabetical order by common name, and the brief entry tells how to make it or buy it, what it is good for, and where to find complete details. Other volumes in the series Reagents for Organic Synthesis Volume 1 ". well on the way to becoming the reference of choice for everyone concerned with techniques of synthesis in organic chemistry.
