Michael B. Smith 
Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Volume 12 

The Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods series facilitates the
working chemist’s search for the most useful functional group
transformations in organic chemistry. Drawn from an exhaustive
survey of the literature, Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods,
Volume 12 contains both functional group transformations and
carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. Author Michael Smith adheres
to stringent criteria for listing reactions, including real
synthetic utility and reagents that are either readily available or
easily prepared and handled in the laboratory.

A clear organizational scheme-chemical transformations classified
first by reacting functional group of starting material, then by
functional group formed-allows for quick reference and information
retrieval. Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Volume 12
provides an unparalleled source of information on the methods,
reactions, and transformations in contemporary organic chemistry
for the working chemist and student alike.
