A hands-on guide to assist in the planning and execution of
synthetic reactions in the laboratory


Despite the maturity of organic chemistry, it can still be very
challenging to identify optimal methods for synthetic
transformations that perform as well in real-world manufacturing
processes as they do in the laboratory. This detailed and
accessible guide attempts to address this vexing issue and deliver
proven methodologies practicing synthetic chemists will find
valuable for identifying reaction conditions that work reliably
over the broadest possible range of substrates.


Practical Synthetic Organic Chemistry:






Provides a practical guide to strategically planning and
executing chemical syntheses for the bench chemist in industry





Discusses information that is not common knowledge beyond the
boundaries of process chemistry groups, such as the synthetic
routes of selected contemporary pharmaceutical drugs and practical
solvents, as well as green chemistry concepts





Highlights key reactions, including substitutions, additions,
eliminations, rearrangements, oxidations, and reductions





Addresses basic principles, mechanisms, advantages and
disadvantages of the methodology, and techniques for achieving
laboratory success






Incorporating such an extraordinary wealth of information on
organic chemistry and its related fields into one complete volume
distinguishes Practical Synthetic Organic Chemistry as an
incomparable desktop reference for professionals and an
invaluable study aid for students.
