Synthesis of Carboxylic Acids, Esters and Their Derivatives (1991)

Acts as a single source for synthetic methods of carboxylic acids, esters, acid halides, anhydrides, amides and imides covering general and newer methods of preparation from 1967-1987. The authors have attempted to include sufficient detail and examples of typical preparations to allow the reader to make a choice from among several alternative methods. As with other volumes in this series, the topic covered here has been included within the long-established volumes in __The Chemistry of Functional Groups__ series. Content: Chapter 1 The synthesis of carboxylic acids and esters and their derivatives (pages 1–224): Chapter 2 Appendix to ‘The synthesis of carboxylic acids and esters and their derivatives’ (pages 225–628): One of a series of advanced treatises focusing on the chemistry of functional groups. This volume addresses the synthesis of carboxylic acids, esters and their derivatives.
