Strategic Applications of Named Reactions in Organic Synthesis

Kurti and Czako have organic specialists in organic medicine and non-specialists in organic chemistry. This is an innovative reference to the complex of natural and unnatural products. Reactions are thoroughly discussed in a simple, two-page layout - using full color. Its comprehensive coverage, superb organization, quality of presentation, and wealth of references.

* The first reference work on named reactions
* 250 frequently used named reactions are presented in a convenient two-page layout with numerous examples
* An opening list of abbreviations includes both structures and chemical names
* Contains more than 10,000 references grouped by seminal papers, reviews, modifications, and theoretical works
* Appendices list reactions in order of discovery, by additional usage, and provide additional study tools
* Extensive index quickly locates information and drawings
