Informationen zum Autor DOUGLASS F. TABER , PhD, is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware. Professor Taber has published more than 170 articles in the organic chemistry field, and has authored eight chapters and several 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 Organic synthesis is a vibrant and rapidly evolving field; we can now prepare ketones by directly combining aldehydes with terminal alkenes. Like the first book in this series, Organic Synthesis: State of the Art 2003-2005, this reference leads readers quickly to the most important recent developments. Two years' of Taber's popular weekly online column, "Organic Chemistry Highlights," as featured on the organic-chemistry.org Web site, are consolidated here, with cumulative indices of both volumes in this series. Important topics that are covered range from powerful new methods for C-C bond construction to asymmetric organocatalysis and direct C-H functionalization. This go-to reference: Focuses on the most important recent developments in organic synthesis, and includes a succinct analysis of the significance and applications of each synthesis Details and analyzes more than twenty total syntheses, including the Davies Synthesis of (-)-Colombiasin A and (-)-Elisapterosin B, the Overman Synthesis of (-)-Sarain A, and the Sorensen Synthesis of (-)-Guanacastepene E Features cumulative reaction/transformation and author indices covering both books in the series so readers can quickly get up to date on a current topic This series offers chemists an effective, efficient, timesaving way to stay abreast of what's new and exciting in organic synthesis. Zusammenfassung Volume 2 of Organic Synthesis introduces the reader to this new and exciting series. The series reviews the most important synthetic procedures developed over the last 2 years! and provides an analysis of the significance and applications of those procedures.
