Opis

The aim of this book is to help people performing routine operations in Organic Synthesis in a laboratory. This book, the first one in a series, focuses on the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. Probably, this is the most important routine operation in Organic Synthesis.

Recenzje

From the reviews of the first edition:

"'Oxidation of Alcohols to Aldehydes and Ketones' is dedicated to practical, working chemists. It contains reactions that work well, and covers reagents that are known as well as some novel ones. ... The list of reagents covers the range of available options quite well, and most synthetic problems will yield to an answer found in this book. ... The authors' approach has been to write a book that provides many practical tips ... . In this aim, Tojo and Fernandez have most certainly succeeded." (www.organische-chemie.ch, October, 2006)

Blurb

This book is a must for anyone involved in the preparation of organic compounds. It is the first one in a new series on basic reactions in organic synthesis. It provides plenty of detailed and useful information in the practical aspects of the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones, which is probably the most important reaction in the synthesis of organic compounds.
