Organic Reactions, Volume 28

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. The Reimer-Tiemann Reaction (Hans Wynberg and Egbert W. Meijer).

The Friedlander Synthesis of Quinolines (Chia-Chung Cheng and Shou-Jen Yan).

The Directed Aldol Reaction (Tenuaki Mukaiyama).

William G. Dauben is the editor of Organic Reactions, Volume 28, published by Wiley.
