Name Reactions of Functional Group Transformations (Comprehensive Name Reactions)

"This comprehensive reference delves into the details of name reactions that are important to researchers. It presents an up-to-date account of forty-seven major classes of functional group transformations and also serves to interconnect them. The book includes reviews from leading scientists in their specialty areas - all organized uniformly, making it easy to access information."--BOOK JACKET. Content: Asymmetric synthesis.
