CHEM 2230 - Organic Chemistry Lab - Manfredi & Thadison: Named Reactions

"Different from other books on name reactions in organic chemistry, Name Reactions, A Collection of Detailed Reaction Mechanisms focuses on their mechanisms. It covers over 300 classical as well as contemporary name reactions. Each reaction is delineated by its detailed step-by-step, electron-pushing mechanism, supplemented with the original and the latest references, especially review articles. Thus, it is not only an indispensable resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students for their learning and exams, but also a good reference book for all chemists interested in name reactions."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Current indexing schemes do not list reactions and reagents as commonly as they used to. This volume is an up-to-date and concise compilation of the most commonly used and widely known name reactions and reagents in modern synthetic organic chemistry. Reactions are listed alphabetically, each listing providing either an accepted or proposed mechanism, secondary information, and four to five referenced examples. Reactions are cross-referenced to Jerry March's Advanced Organic Chemistry. The second section lists reagents alphabetically, each entry giving structure, physical properties, major uses, preparation and commercial availability, necessary precautions, secondary information, and four to five referenced examples. Reagents are cross-referenced to the Fieser & Fieser series, Reagents for Organic Synthesis, through volume 12.

This Second Edition is the premier name resource in the field. It provides a handy resource for navigating the web of named reactions and reagents. Reactions and reagents are listed alphabetically, followed by relevant mechanisms, experimental data (including yields where available), and references to the primary literature. The text also includes three indices based on reagents and reactions, starting materials, and desired products. Organic chemistry professors, graduate students, and undergraduates, as well as chemists working in industrial, government, and other laboratories, will all find this book to be an invaluable reference.

From the Acyloin Condensation to the Wurtz Reaction. A compact collection of 134 important named organic reactions from modern organic chemistry with clearly outlined reaction mechanisms and applications of each reaction. Named Organic Reactions provides * The perfect revision aid to key organic reactions * References for easy information access * Further information, including side reactions, yields and variations of the reaction This book is the essential guide to named organic reactions for chemistry students.

This Second edition contains consise information on 134 carefully chosen named organic reactions - the standard set of undergraduate and graduate synthetic organic chemistry courses. Each reaction is detailed with clearly drawn mechanisms, references from the primary literature, and well-written accounts covering the mechanical aspects of the reactions, and the details of side reactions and substrate limitations. For the 2nd edition the complete text has been revised and updated, and four new reactions have been added: Baylis-Hillmann Reaction, Sonogashira Reaction, Pummerer Reaction, and the Swern Oxidation und Cyclopropanation. An essential text for students preparing for exams in organic chemistry.
