Issues in Advanced Organic Chemistry

"Organic chemistry developed into a productive and exciting science in the nineteenth century. Over the years organic chemists have developed a broad array of reactions that allow them to make all kinds of complex products from simpler starting materials. Synthetic organic chemistry remains an integral part of medicinal chemistry design, enabling the most carefully designed target compounds to be realized in a rapid and efficient manner. This comprehensive book explores the problems encountered in the study of the various facets of organic chemistry, including syntheses, reactions, reagents, and reaction mechanisms.
