Protecting Groups (softcover)

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.
