Books in the Comprehensive Name Reactions series

Covers important name reactions relevant to heterocyclic chemistry The field of heterocyclic chemistry has long presented a special challenge for chemists. Because of the enormous amount and variety of information, it is often a difficult topic to cover for undergraduate and graduate chemistry students, even in simplified form.

Functional group transformations form the heart of organic synthesis, with one functional group present in the starting material transformed into a different functional group in the product. For purposes of this book, this includes oxidations, reductions, asymmetric transformations, and other functional group manipulations that are name reactions.

This guide provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of name reactions on homologation.

Part of the "Wiley's Comprehensive Name Reactions" series, this title comprises a comprehensive treatise on name reactions for homologations. It offers a compilation of the most commonly used and widely known name reactions and reagents. It also discusses Rearrangements, Asymmetric C-C Bond Formation, and Miscellaneous Homologation Reactions.

Ring formations are an important tool in the synthetic arsenal of organic chemistry. Name Reactions on Carbocyclic Ring Formations continues the authoritative series on name reactions in organic chemistry by comprehensively covering name reactions specific to ring formation.

This set collects all the volumes in the well-established and authoritative series on name reactions in organic chemistry. These are key reactions that have found widespread application in all areas of organic synthesis: medicinal / pharmaceutical, agricultural, fine chemicals, and polymer science.

Co-authored by Nobel Laureatte, E.J. Corey, this book builds on the first volume on this topic by presenting a comprehensive treatise on name reactions in heterocyclic chemistry.
