Oxidation of Primary Alcohols to Carboxylic Acids: A Guide to Current Common Practice (Basic Reactions in Organic Synthesis)

This book, the second in the series __Basic Reactions in Organic Synthesis__, is a laboratory guide for the transformation of primary alcohols into carboxylic acids. It contains copious information on important experimental details and procedures for the successful and reliable completion of this oxidation. This work is an important addition to any laboratory involved in the preparation of organic molecules.

As the second volume in a comprehensive encyclopedia of organic reactions, this work provides an elaborated description of the experimental methods used for the oxidation of alcohols to acids. It supplies important data on possible interferences from protecting groups and functional groups, as well as on potential side-reactions. This is a must for anyone involved in the preparation of organic compounds.
