Protecting Groups: Foundations of Organic Chemistry - Hardcover

The didactic presentation of the material makes this book an essential bench-top tool not only for specialists in organic chemistry, but also for students and all those involved in the preparation of organic molecules. Key Features: - A critical survey of the most used protecting groups, as used by organic chemists - Organization based on functional groups: hydroxyl; diol; carbonyl; carboxyl; amine - Special emphasis placed on deprotection conditions applied to complex structures where selectivity is a prime issue - Transformations accompanied by key experimental details - Examples from the recent literature span a wide domain of organic synthesis - Over 500 schemes aid visual retrieval - end-of-chapter list reviews which amplify topics covered.
