Organic Reactions, Volume 24

The volumes of Organic Reactions are collections of chapters each devoted to a single reaction, or a definite phase of a reaction, of wide applicability. The material is treated from a preparative viewpoint, with emphasis on limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure, and the selection of experimental techniques. Numerous detailed procedures illustrate the significant modifications of each method. Includes tables that contain all possible examples of the reaction under consideration. Homogeneous Hydrogenation Catalysts in Organic Synthesis (A. J.Birch and D. H. Williamson).

Ester Cleavages via SN 2-Type Dealkylation (J. E. McMurry).

Arylation of Unsaturated Compounds by Diazonium Salts (The MeerweinArylation Reaction (C. S. Rondestvedt, Jr.).

Selenium Dioxide Oxidation (N. Rabjohn).

William G. Dauben is the editor of Organic Reactions, Volume 24, published by Wiley.
