Classics in Hydrocarbon Chemistry - Syntheses, Concepts, Perspectives. Forew. by William von Eggers Doering

Carbon and Hydrogen: the two basic building units can be combined in a million different ways to give a plethora of fascinating organic compounds. The author presents not only the most remarkable structures and properties of hydrocarbon compounds but shows in a clear presentation and with great didactic skill how molecules challenge the synthetic skills of organic chemists. To make the information more accessible, especially to the novice, the author carefully analyzes the synthetic problem and explains each synthetic step, and gives hints on alternaive methods and potential pitfalls. Numerous references to useful reviews and the original literature make this book a source of further information. Special emphasis is placed on the skillful use of graphics and scemes. Graduate students and researchers alike will find this book a gold mine of useful information, essential for their daily work.
