Organic Reactions, Volume 36

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 Nitrone-Olegin Cycloaddition Reaction (P. N. Confalone & E. M. Huie).

Phosphorus Addition at sp 2 Carbon (R. Engel).

Reduction by Metal Alkoxyaluminum Hydrides (J. Malek).
