Guidebook To Organic Synthesis

This edition has been extensively revised and enlarged to take account of recent developments. It emphasises the basic principles of the subject which remain essentially unchanged. The first ten chapters lay the groundwork for carbon-carbon bond formation, functional group transformations, etc., with detailed additions reflecting new work. The remaining chapters on boron, phosphorus, and silicon reagents, and selected syntheses, have undergone extensive revisions. Chapters on selenium reagents and asymmetric synthesis are completely new.
