Zusatztext "...an excellent survey of modern synthetic transformations." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry! December 28! 2006) Informationen zum Autor Douglass F. Taber is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware. Professor Taber received his BS from Stanford University in 1970, and his PhD from Columbia University in 1974.?Following a postdoctoral appointment with Professor Barry Trost at the University of Wisconsin, he was assistant professor at Vanderbilt University from 1975-1982, when he moved to the University of Delaware. Professor Taber has more than 170 publications in the organic chemistry field, and has authored eight book chapters and three books. His research interests include the stereoselective synthesis of natural products, new methods in synthetic organic chemistry, and computational organometallic chemistry in organic synthesis. Klappentext A convenient, compact summary of the state of the art of organic synthesis"These days, when such an overwhelming amount of material is published, it is convenient to be able to access summarized information and gain a quick overview of a current topic," wrote Kilian Muniz in Angewandte Chemie International Edition about Douglass Taber's weekly "Organic Chemistry Highlights" column on the organic-chemistry.org Web site.The first in a new series, Organic Synthesis: State of the Art 2003-2005 pulls together two years' worth of Taber's popular and highly-regarded column, and comprises a concise, extremely useful overview of current accomplishments in the field of organic synthesis. The 103 articles in this volume review the leading synthetic procedures developed over the last two years, discussing their significance and their applications. The more than 100 reactions covered in this First Volume of the series include:* Heterocycle Construction by Grubbs Metathesis* Enantioselective C-C Bond Construction* Organic Reactions in Ionic LiquidsEnhanced by author and subject-transformation indices, Organic Synthesis: State of the Art 2003-2005 offers chemists an effective, much-needed way to stay abreast of what's new and exciting in their field. Zusammenfassung Volume 1 of Organic Synthesis: State of the Art introduces the reader to this new and exciting series. The objective of the series is to focus and review the most important synthetic procedures developed over the last 2 years, and to provide an analysis of the significance and applications of those procedures.
