Books by Michael C. (University of California Pirrung

The field of combinatorial chemistry has seen tremendous growth. Part of the "Tetrahedron Organic Chemistry" series, this volume represents fresh approaches to solving problems in chemical reactivity and function. It emphasises principles and exemplifies these with examples. It includes exercises and worked problems.

Handbook of Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Second Edition updates and expands the author''s popular 2007 work, Synthetic Organic Chemist''s Companion. This new handbook provides valuable, practical guidance; incorporates corrections, and includes coverage on important topics, such as lyophylization, crystallization, precipitation, HPLC detectors, gases, and microwave reactions. The book maintains the useful organization of the author''s earlier work, beginning with a basic overview and walking through every practical step of the process of organic synthesis, from reagents, solvents, and temperature control, to documentation, implementation, purification, and analytical methods for the product. From planning and setting up reactions, to recording them, the book provides insight and valuable guidance into every step of the process. Practical guidance for planning, working up, documenting, analyzing, and improving reactions in synthetic organic chemistry
