DESCRIPTION
This book is an effort to provide an overview of the role of organic synthesis in chemistry, in general and in science. It introduces the major methods of creating carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds, along with functional group inter-conversions. The use of protecting groups and solid-Phase methods are also discussed. The analysis of the structure of a target molecule, in terms of the structural consequences of synthetic reactions, is introduced to enable the student to identify key dissections and building blocks and hence develop a suitable synthetic method. It will be a highly valuable reference tool for organic chemistry professionals, students, and those who used to have a rather peripheral contact with this area of organic chemistry.
