Organic
Synthesis: Strategy and Control is the long-awaited sequel to Stuart Warren’s
bestseller Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach, which looked
at the planning behind the synthesis of compounds. This unique book now
provides a comprehensive, practical account of the key concepts involved in
synthesising compounds and focuses on putting the planning into practice.
The two themes
of the book are strategy and control: solving problems either by
finding an alternative strategy or by controlling any established strategy to
make it work. The book is divided into five sections that deal with
selectivity, carbon-carbon single bonds, carbon-carbon double bonds,
stereochemistry and functional group strategy.
- A comprehensive, practical account of the key concepts involved in synthesising compounds
- Takes a mechanistic approach, which explains reactions and gives guidelines on how reactions might behave in different situations
- Focuses on reactions that really work rather than those with limited application
- Contains extensive, up-to-date references in each chapter
Students and
professional chemists familiar with Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection
Approach will enjoy the leap into a book designed for chemists at the
coalface of organic synthesis.
