Organic Reactions, Volume 7

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. 1. The Pechmann Reaction--Suresh Sethna and Ragini Phadke

2. The Skraup Synthesis of Quinolines--Richard H. F. Manske and Marshall Kulka

3. Carbon-Carbon Alkylations with Amines and Ammonium Salts--James H. Brewster and Ernest L. Eliel

4. The von Braun Cyanogen Bromide Reaction--Howard A. Hageman

5. Hydrogenolysis of Benzyl Groups Attached to Oxygen, Nitrogen, or Sulfur--Walter H. Hartung and Robert Simonoff

6. The Nitrosation of Aliphatic Carbon Atoms--Oscar Touster

7. Epoxidation and Hydroxylation of Ethylenic Compounds with Organic Peracids--Daniel Swern

Roger Adams was an American organic chemist. He is best known for the eponymous Adams' catalyst, and his work did much to determine the composition of naturally occurring substances such as complex vegetable oils and plant alkaloids.
