Emphasis on reagents for advanced synthesis, an approach that gets to the practical core of synthesis and synthetic strategies without a lot of extraneous theory that can be covered in other advanced courses.
A practical orientation designed to prepare students for the way organic chemistry labs actually work.
Focus on the essential reactions, covering just the topics students need without drawing on overly complex examples and explanations.
A variety of thematically arranged problems. Each chapter concludes with extensive problem sets consistently grouped to include reagents, selectivity, stereochemistry, reactivity, synthesis, and retrosynthetic analysis.
Extensive references. To enhance its practicality, the each chapter contains references for further study.
