Organic Synthesis: Strategy and Control

Organic Synthesis: Strategy and Control

<b><i>Organic Synthesis: Strategy and Control</i></b> is the long-awaited sequel to Stuart Warren’s bestseller <i>Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach</i>, which looked at the planning behind the synthesis of compounds. This unique book now provides a comprehensive, practical account of the key concepts involved in synthesising compounds and focuses on putting the planning into practice. <p>The two themes of the book are <i>strategy</i> and <i>control:</i> solving problems either by finding an alternative strategy or by controlling any established strategy to make it work. The book is divided into five sections that deal with selectivity, carbon-carbon single bonds, carbon-carbon double bonds, stereochemistry and functional group strategy.</p> <ul type="disc"> <li>A comprehensive, practical account of the key concepts involved in synthesising compounds</li> <li>Takes a mechanistic approach, which explains reactions and gives guidelines on how reactions might behave in different situations</li> <li>Focuses on reactions that really work rather than those with limited application</li> <li>Contains extensive, up-to-date references in each chapter</li> </ul> <p>Students and professional chemists familiar with <i>Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach</i> will enjoy the leap into a book designed for chemists at the coalface of organic synthesis.</p>
