Practical Synthetic Organic Chemistry - 2nd Edition by Stéphane Caron (Paperback)

About the Book

"This book is a hands-on guide for the organic chemist. Focusing on the most reliable and useful reactions, the chapter authors provide the information necessary for a chemist to strategically plan a synthesis, as well as repeat the procedures in the laboratory. Towards this purpose, the reaction chapters offer information on the basics of the reaction, the synthetic procedure(s), mechanism, and scope of the reaction. Later chapters discuss information that is not common knowledge outside of process chemistry groups like practical solvents and green chemistry concepts. The new edition adds content on recent advances in CH activation, photoredox and electrochemistry, continuous chemistry, and application of biocatalysis in synthesis. Together, these make the book a valuable desktop reference for professionals working in and students studying organic chemistry or related fields"--

Book Synopsis

Diese Publikation ist ein Praktikerbuch für Organiker. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf den Reaktionen, die am verlässlichsten und nützlichsten sind. Die Autoren der einzelnen Kapitel stellen Chemiker die Informationen zur Verfügung, die für die strategische Planung einer Synthese und Wiederholung der Verfahren im Labor notwendig sind.

- Fasst alle wesentlichen Entwicklungen und Konzepte in einer Publikation zusammen und deckt die meisten der wichtigen Reaktionen in der organischen Chemie ab, u. a. Substitutions-, Additions-, Eliminierungsreaktionen, Umlagerung, Oxidation, Reduktion.
- Behandelt die wichtigsten Reaktionen ausführlicher und zeigt die grundlegenden Prinzipien, Vor- und Nachteile der Methoden, Mechanismen und Techniken, um Reaktionen im Labor erfolgreich durchzuführen.
- Mit neuen Inhalten zu den jüngsten Fortschritten in den Bereichen CH-Aktivierung, Photoredox-Katalyse und Elektrochemie, kontinuierliche chemische Prozesse und Anwendung der Biokatalyse in der Synthese.
- Bietet überarbeitete Kapitel mit neuen und zusätzlichen chemischen Beispielen aus der Praxis.

From the Back Cover

Presents the principles, techniques, and reactions of practical synthetic organic chemistry

Practical Synthetic Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Principles, and Techniques, Second Edition is a valuable desktop reference for professionals working in and students studying organic chemistry or related fields.

Building on the framework of the first edition, it exemplifies the majority of useful reactions and highlights the most reliable experimental conditions selected by industrial process chemists from pharmaceutical companies. It provides the information necessary for a chemist to strategically plan a synthesis, rapidly select reagents and procedures to maximize success in the laboratory.

In Practical Synthetic Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Principles, and Techniques, Second Edition, reaction chapters offer information on the basics of the reaction, the synthetic procedure(s), and scope of the reaction. Later chapters discuss practical solvents and green chemistry concepts. It also guides the reader to a wealth of useful references from the primary literature.

• Consolidates all the key advances/concepts in one book, covering the most important reactions in organic chemistry, including substitutions, additions, eliminations, rearrangements, oxidations, and reductions
• Features new content on recent advances in CH activation, photoredox and electrochemistry, continuous chemistry, and the application of biocatalysis in synthesis
• Updates chapters to include new and additional examples of chemistry that have been demonstrated at a practical scale

This book highlights the most important reactions, addressing basic principles, advantages/ disadvantages of the methodology, mechanism, and techniques for achieving laboratory success.
