The volumes of Organic Reactions are collections of chapters each devoted to a single reaction, or a definite phase of a reaction, of wide applicability. The material is treated from a preparative viewpoint, with emphasis on limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure, and the selection of experimental techniques.

Organic Reactions is a comprehensive series of volumes composed of chapters devoted to important synthetic reactions. For each volume, the chapter authors are world-renowned experts with extensive hands-on experience in the field. The chemistry is presented from a preparative point of view and particular attention is given to reaction limitations, interfering influences, effects of chemical structure, and the selection of experimental conditions. * Each reaction is fully referenced to the primary literature * Numerous detailed procedures illustrate the significant modifications of each method * Includes tables that contain all possible examples of the reaction under consideration
