Handbook of Reagents for Organic Synthesis - Sulfur-Containing Reagents

Paquette Leo A. (ed.) Handbook of Reagents for Organic Synthesis - Sulfur-Containing Reagents 2009 [pdf 732sc 712+2c. 10.87mb] 728;732c.There are a lot of books available about the chemistry and biology of sulfur. However, this is the first book with a compilation of all relevant Sulfur containing reagents. Synthetic chemists, most particularly in the medicinal and pharmaceutical chemists, are often called upon to prepare compounds that contain Sulfur as a key structural feature. In the past, this seemed to be a domain for specialists; today every synthetic chemist working in these area is expected to synthesize compounds containing sulfides, sulfates, sulfones, etc. This book offers an important source of information for the selection and handling of the right reagents. "All in all, the Editor hopes that this handbook will prove to be a valued adjunct to researchers experienced in sulfur chemistry, and a particularly useful compilation for others seeking to gain a foothold in the field as expediently as possible. These goals will have been realized if advances material from exposure to its contents." --Book Jacket
