Protecting Groups

The didactic presentation of the material makes this book an essential
bench-top tool not only for specialists in organic chemistry, but also for
students and all those involved in the preparation of organic molecules.

Key
Features::

• 
  
• A critical survey of the most used protecting groups,
  as used by organic chemists
• Organization based on functional groups:: hydroxyl ;
  diol; carbonyl; carboxyl; amine
• Special emphasis placed on deprotection conditions
  applied to complex structures where selectivity is a prime issue
• 
  Transformations accompanied by key experimental
  details
• Examples from the recent literature span a wide
  domain of organic synthesis
• Over 500 schemes aid visual retrieval
• End-of-chapter list reviews which amplify topics
  covered.
