Name Reactions and Reagents in Organic Synthesis

Name Reactions and Reagents in Organic Synthesis
(2nd Edition -Bradford P. Mundy, Michael G. Ellerd, and Frank G. Favaloro)
In contrast, the second edition of Name Reactions and Reagents in Organic Synthesis is a much more exhaustive collection, addressing more than 500 reactions (and rearrangements). The breadth of coverage extends well beyond the confines of a typical undergraduate–beginning graduate organic chemistry course, although the detail presented for each reaction is minimal. The intent is not so much to be a single-source teaching tool or text or text supplement covering that subset of reactions germane to university classes in organic chemistry as it is to be a much more comprehensive reference work that is most suitable for synthetic chemists. Reactions are listed alphabetically, each listing providing either an accepted or a proposed mechanism (often with minimal detail), along with secondary information, and two to four examples with citations. In addition to literature citations, when applicable the reactions are cross-referenced to Laue and Plagen’s, Named Organic Reactions (2nd edition) or Jerry March’s Advanced Organic Chemistry (5th edition); Wiley-Interscience publishes all three books. Name Reactions and Reagents in Organic Synthesis also contains an extremely useful (and unique) second section that lists alphabetically more than 200 named reagents and reagent acronyms; each entry lists the reagent’s structure, its major uses and preparation, commercial availability, necessary precautions, secondary information, and two or three referenced applications. Unlike Laue and Plagens, this book does not include commentary and is not structured to be a direct teaching tool, rather it is a launching point to a vast array of named chemical reactions.
