Organic Reactions, Volume 6

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 Stobbe Condensation--William S. Johnson and Guido H. Daub

2. The Preparation of 3,4-Dihydroisoquinolines and Related Compounds by the Bischler-Napieralski Reaction--Wilson M. Whaley and Tuticorin R. Govindachari

3. The Pictet-Spengler Synthesis of Tetrahydroisoquinolines and Related Compounds--Wilson M. Whaley and Tuticorin R. Govindachari

4. The Synthesis of Isoquinolines by the Pomeranz-Fritsch Reaction--Walter J. Gensler

5. The Oppenauer Oxidation--Carl Djerassi

6. The Synthesis of Phosphonic and Phosphinic Acids--Gennady M. Kosolapoff

7. The Halogen-Metal Interconversion Reaction with Organolithium Compounds--Reuben G. Jones and Henry Gilman

8. The Preparation of Thiazoles--Richard H. Wiley, D.C. England, and Lyell C. Behr

9. The Preparation of Thiophenes and Tetrahydrothiophenes--Donald E. Wolf and Karl Folkers

10. Reductions by Lithium Aluminum Hydride--Weldon G. Brown

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.
