Organic Synthesis

Focusing on two fundamental approaches to problem-solving in organic synthesis chemistry, the book explores alternative strategies and targeted modifications of existing methods. It is structured into five main sections covering selective syntheses, carbon-carbon bonds, stereochemistry, and functional groups. Each of the 36 chapters introduces classical methods before transitioning to modern synthesis techniques. The chemistry of heterocycles is addressed comprehensively, supported by detailed mechanistic explanations, and emphasizes reliable, well-verified procedures with numerous current literature references.
