From reviews of previous volumes: "Essential for chemistry collections at the university and research levels. " -New York Public Library "Highly recommended. lots of succinct, practical information on recent developments. in a format that is easy to use.

This reference emphasizes the tactical considerations needed to optimize synthetic results in the laboratory----an area most books neglect. Bringing together information that currently lies scattered throughout the literature, it approaches synthesis from a modern point of view.

This book highlights the symmetrical characteristics of organic molecules. It demonstrates how to use principles of symmetry to synthesize and prepare both symmetrical and asymmetrical molecules.

Chiral molecules come in "right-handed" or "left-handed" forms which look the same in 2D but are mirror images of each other. These molecules do not behave in the same way and react differently towards enzymes. Stereochemistry is the study of these molecules, and this text treats the subject.

This volume provides an A to Z listing of reagents cited in synthetic literature. It includes concise descriptions, illustrations on chemical reactions and selected examples of applications, information on making/buying a reagent, its usefulness and where to find complete details.

Provides an A to Z listing of reagents cited in synthetic literature. This work includes entries that feature descriptions, illustrations of chemical reactions, and selected examples of applications.

The highly successful Fieser & Fieser series has provided several generations of professional chemists and students with an up-to-date survey of the reagent literature. Reagents are listed in alphabetical order by common name, and the brief entry tells how to make it or buy it, what it is good for, and where to find complete details.

The highly successful Fieser & Fieser series has provided generations of professional chemists with an ongoing and easily-accessible guide to the chemical literature. Volume 20 maintains the same high caliber format of previous volumes, including references to both new reagents and reagents covered in previous volumes.
