Oxidation of Alcohols to Aldehydes and Ketones: A Guide to Current Common Practice (Basic Reactions in Organic Synthesis)

"Oxidation of Alcohols to Aldehydes and Ketones" The strength of this book is its clarity and style. This book is plenty of synthetic examples with several references from the literature. Thus, it is an interesting book to be placed near working benches in laboratories. Moreover, this guide describes several general procedures for different oxidation of alcohols and ketones. The weak point could be that this book is short in my opinion (375 pages). José A. Castillo. This book is a must for anyone involved in the preparation of organic compounds. It is the first one in a new series on basic reactions in organic synthesis. It provides plenty of detailed and useful information in the practical aspects of the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones, which is probably the most important reaction in the synthesis of organic compounds The aim of this book is to help people performing routine operations in Organic Synthesis in a laboratory. This book, the first one in a series, focuses on the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. Probably, this is the most important routine operation in Organic Synthesis.
