Organic Spectroscopic Structure Determination is a sophomore-level book with emphasis on structure problem solving. It consists of four sections that attempt to engage the imagination of the student. Taber has arranged the material in such a way that the students can work the problems and learn the procedures on their own, minimizing the time taken in lecture. The first section contains three chapters of instruction on the methods of organic spectroscopy. The second contains fifty problems with just data sets of spectroscopic data. The third section is comprised of fifty problems...

The first in a new series, this book provides chemists an effective, much-needed way to stay abreast of recent developments in organic synthesis. The 103 articles review the leading synthetic procedures developed from 2003 - 2005, discussing their significance and their applications. More than 100 reactions are covered, including Heterocycle Construction by Grubbs Metathesis, Enantioselective C-C Bond Construction, and Organic Reactions in Ionic Liquids.

The second volume in a series, Organic Synthesis: State of the Art 2005-2007 will provide you with a convenient, compact summary of the state of the art of organic synthesis. This reference guide will quickly lead you to the most important recent developments like how scientists can now prepare ketones by directly combining aldehydes with terminal alkenes. Inside, you will find detailed analysis of more than twenty total syntheses, including the Davies Synthesis of (-)-Colombiasin A and (-)-Elisapterosin B, the Overman Synthesis of (-)-Sarain A, and the Sorensen Synthesis of...

The Diels-Alder reaction has long been a powerful tool in organic synthesis. In recent years, the Alder ene reaction has also achieved some prominence. From the beginning, it was apparent that the intramolecular variants of these reactions would be feasible. Many such have been reported, but the results are widely scattered in the chemical literature. This volume is an attempt to synthesize results observed to date, and to suggest directions for future development. One of the limiting factors in the application of the intramolecular Diels Alder reaction has been the development of methods for...

Organic Synthesis: State of the Art 2011-2013 is a convenient, concise reference that summarizes the most important current developments in organic synthesis, from functional group transformations to complex natural product synthesis. The fifth volume in the esteemed State of the Art series, the book compiles two years' worth of Douglass Taber's popular weekly column Organic Chemistry Highlights. The series is an invaluable resource, leading chemists quickly and easily to the most significant developments in the field.
The book is logically divided into two sections: the first...

Organic synthesis is a vibrant and rapidly evolving field; chemists can now cyclize alkenes directly onto enones. Like the first five books in this series, Organic Synthesis: State of the Art 2013-2015 will lead readers quickly to the most important recent developments in a research area. This series offers chemists a way to stay abreast of what's new and exciting in organic synthesis. The cumulative reaction/transformation index of 2013-2015 outlines all significant new organic transformations over the past twelve years. Future volumes will continue to come out every two years. The 2013-2015...
