Organic Syntheses, Volume 77 describes twenty-eight checked and edited experimental procedures, spanning a broad range of synthetic methodologies, and provides chemists with a compendium of new or little known experimental procedures which lead to useful compounds or that illustrate important new developments in methodology. For every procedure, safety warnings are presented along with detailed descriptions for the preparation, purification, and identification of the compound in question. Additionally, special reaction conditions are detailed, along with the source of reagents, helpful waste...

Suitable for advanced graduate and undergraduate students, this book intends to expose them to a variety of strategies for the synthesis of organic compounds. It presents multiple approaches to each group of synthesis targets, and compares the approaches with one another with an eye on similarities and differences.
