For all volumes: the volumes of Organic Reactions are collections of chapters each devoted to a single reaction or a definitive phase of a reaction, of wide applicability. The authors have had experience with the processes surveyed. The subjects are presented from the preparative viewpoint and particular attention is given to limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the selection of experimental techniques. Each chapter includes several detailed procedures illustrating the significant modifications of the method. Each chapter contains tablets that include all the examples of the reaction under consideration that the author has been able to find.

The current volume continues the tradition of providing significant and interesting procedures, which should prove worthwhile to many synthetic chemists working in increasingly diverse areas. Following precedent, there is no specific or central theme to this volume.

This series provides the most comprehensive and highly focused treatment of important organic reactions currently available. This volume in the prestigious series includes chapters covering two of the most fundamental processes in organic chemistry: oxidation and reduction. The coverage also includes tables containing all possible examples of the reactions under consideration, as well as references to the primary literature, reaction conditions, products, and yields where available for each reaction. Written by world-reowned experts with extensive hands-on experience in the field, Organic Reactions, Volume 74 is a key working resource.

Volume 76 in the venerable Organic Reactions series comprises three chapters that cover the ever-increasing emphasis of transition metal catalysis in organic synthesis. These three chapters represent some of the most important transformations that enable the construction of carbon-carbon bonds, heterocycles and carbon-heteratom bonds. This volume features a comprehensive treatment of transition metal (palladium, nickel, copper) catalyzed a-arylation of enolates derived from many common functional groups such as ketones, aldehydes, esters and nitriles (Prim, Marque, Gaucher, Campagne) including enantioselective variants; palladium catalyzed cyclization to form indoles (Cacchi, Fabrizi, Goggiamani) one of the most prevalent and important classes of heterocycles in natural products and pharmaceutical agents; and an overview of a newly developed dihydroxylation reaction of alkenes (Donohoe, Bataille, Innocenti) that uses hydrogen bonding interactions to direct the delivery of an osmium catalyst with high selectivity. As with all Organic Reactions chapters, these reviews emphasize the preparative aspects of the featured transformation and contain comprehensive compilations of all known examples in the tables.

Since it was first published in 1967, the highly regarded Topics in Stereochemistry series has consistently reflected the state of the art in the field and provided readers with a coherent framework for the conceptual, theoretical, and practical aspects of modern stereochemistry. With the new series editor, Scott E. Denmark, at the helm, Volume 22 continues to offer important insights into the evolution of stereochemistry and its future direction. Written by internationally recognized leaders in their respective fields, this volume introduces readers to some of the most intensely studied topics in research laboratories today. Along with the fundamental principles of chirality, the authors describe exciting new applications of stereochemistry in synthetic organic, physical organic, and bioorganic chemistry. They cover cutting-edge research in areas such as asymmetric catalysis, reactions with catalytic antibodies, and stereoelectronic control of organic reactions. In addition, a feature chapter provides a critical analysis of the concepts of molecular chirality. Timely and authoritative, Topics in Stereochemistry, Volume 22, features over 120 illustrations and a cumulative index covering Volumes 1 through 22. It is an essential resource for organic chemists involved in synthesis as well as those in the physical and bioorganic areas of organic chemistry. Volume 22 relaunches this highly respected series, providing a timely, valuable reference to the theory and practice of stereochemistry. Cutting-edge topics include:* Foundations of molecular and topological chirality.* Stereoselective reactions with catalytic antibodies.* Stereoelectronic effects of the group 4 metal substituents in organic chemistry.* Asymmetric catalysis with the new class of chiral lanthanoid complexes.* Basic principles of the exciting new area of asymmetric amplification.

Topics in Stereochemistry, previously edited by "the father of stereochemistry" Ernest L. Eliel, is a longstanding, successful series covering the most important advances in the field. The much-anticipated Volume 25 includes chapters on the following topics:* Stereochemistry of Molecules in Inclusion Crystals* Torsional Motion of Stilbene-type Molecules in Crystals* Supramolecular Networks of Porphyrins* Homo- and Heterochirality in Crystals* Supramolecular Synthesis of 1D Chains and 2D Layers in Hydrogen Bond Networks of Ureas and 2-D Pyrimidinones* Chiral Auxiliaries Powerful for Both Enantioresolution and Determination of Absolutely Stereochemistry by X-Ray Crystallograph* Engineering Stereospecific Reactoins in Crystals: Synthesis of Compounds with Adjacent Stereogenic Quaternary Centers by Photodecarbonylation of Crystalline Ketones* The CH/ Hydrogen Bond: An Important Molecular Force in Controlling the Crystal Conformation of Organic Compounds and Three-Dimensional Structure of Biopolymers* Stereoselective Thermal Solid-State Reactions* Crystal Structures and Functionalities of Platinum (II) Complexes Controlled by Various Intermolecular Interactions

This volume in the venerable Organic Reactions series contains three chapters focusing on the introduction or the removal of nitrogen from organic compounds. The first chapter features a classic chemical reaction for introducing nitrogen into organic compounds, namely the Schmidt Reaction. The second chapter highlights a less-well-known yet fascinating transformation that introduces nitrogen into organic compounds, The Neber Rearrangement. The third chapter describes an unusual class of reactions that involve the loss of small molecular fragments from a ring, where separate carbon atoms unite to form alkenes.

Volume 79 in the venerable Organic Reactions series contains two chapters. The first addresses cross-coupling reactions of organotrifluoroborate salts, useful in the development of natural products, materials, and pharmacologically active substances. It is an excellent companion to two previous chapters on tin-based and silicon-based cross-couplings contained in Volumes 50 and 75, respectively. The second chapter addresses asymmetric transformations by deprotonation using chiral lithium amides, useful in target-oriented synthesis, and representing one of the most powerful workhorse reactions in organic synthesis.

Volume 80 in the venerable Organic Reactions series contains two chapters. The first describes the use of chiral rhodium complexes to effect catalytic, asymmetric carbon-hydrogen insertion reactions intramolecularly. It details the structural scenarios in which diazocarbonyl compounds can be generated and activated to form, inter alia, lactones, lactams and cyclic ketones. The second chapter describes the use of (chiral) rhodium complexes in combination with diazocarbonyl compounds, but in this case to effect a remarkable transformation that dramatically increases the molecular complexity of the substrates.

The two chapters in Volume 84 describe transition metal catalyzed processes that form carbon-carbon bonds and carbon-oxygen bonds in very interesting and practical ways. The first chapter authored by Christina Moberg describes an important subset of one of the earliest and most important enantioselective carbon-carbon bond forming reactions that employ transition metal complexes, namely molybdenum-catalyzed, asymmetric allylic alkylations. The second chapter authored by Brian W. Michel, Laura D. Steffens, and Matthew S. Sigman deals with one of the oldest examples of transition metal catalyzed oxidation, known as the Wacker process.

The 99th volume in this series for organic chemists in academia and industry presents critical discussions of widely used organic reactions or particular phases of a reaction. The material is treated from a preparative viewpoint, with emphasis on limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the selection of experimental techniques. The work includes tables that contain all possible examples of the reaction under consideration. Detailed procedures illustrate the significant modifications of each method.
