The second edition of "Comprehensive Organic Synthesis" builds upon the highly respected first edition in drawing together the new common themes that underlie the many disparate areas of organic chemistry. These themes support effective and efficient synthetic strategies, thus providing a comprehensive overview of this important discipline. Fully revised and updated, this new set forms an essential
reference work for all those seeking information on the solution of
synthetic problems, whether they are experienced practitioners or
chemists whose major interests lie outside organic synthesis. In
addition, synthetic chemists requiring the essential facts in new
areas, as well as students completely new to the field, will find
"Comprehensive Organic Synthesis, Second Edition" an invaluable
source, providing an authoritative overview of core concepts.
In recent years the choice of a given solvent for performing a reaction has become increasingly important. More and more, selective reagents are used for chemical transformations and the choice of the solvent may be determining for reaching high reaction rates and high selectivities. The toxicity and recycling considerations have also greatly influenced the nature of the solvents used for industrial reactions. Thus, the development of reactions in water is not only important on the laboratory scale but also for industrial applications. The p- formance of metal-catalyzed reactions in water for example has led to several new hydrogenation or hydroformylation procedures with important industrial applications. The various aspects of organic chemistry in water will be prese- ed in this book. Recently, novel reaction media such as perfluorinated solvents or supercritical carbon dioxide has proven to have unique advantages leading to more practical and more efficient reactions. Especially with perfluorinated solvents, new biphasic catalyses and novel approaches to perform organic reactions have been developed. These aspects will be examined in detail in this volume. Finally, the performance of reactions in the absence of solvents will show practical alternatives for many reactions. More than ever before, the choice of the solvent or the solvent system is ess- tial for realizing many chemical transformations with the highest efficiency. This book tries to cover the more recent and important new solvents or solvent systems for both academic and industrial applications.
This valuable and unique text, written by world-renowned researchers, covers the application of these reagents to organic synthesis. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, containing step-by-step experimental procedures, and should be a valuable resource to new postgraduate students and experienced researchers alike.
