An invaluable resource for navigating the world of name reactions and reagents Current indexing schemes do not list reactions and reagents as commonly as they used to. Name Reactions and Reagents in Organic Synthesis, Second Edition provides an up-to-date, concise compilation of the most commonly used and widely known name reactions and reagents in modern synthetic organic chemistry. Reactions are listed alphabetically, followed by relevant mechanisms, experimental data (including yields, where available), and references to the primary literature. Cross-referenced to March's Advanced Organic Chemistry and Fiesers' Reagents for Organic Synthesis (both from Wiley), this updated Second Edition also includes three easily searchable indices based on reagents and reactions, starting materials, and desired products. Armed with this invaluable resource, both students and professionals will have at their fingertips a comprehensive guide to important mechanisms and phenomena in organic chemistry.
