Hard and Soft Acids and Bases Principle in Organic Chemistry deals with various phenomena in organic chemistry that are directly related to or derived from the hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB) principle. Topics covered range from chemical reactivity to displacement reactions, along with various HSAB principle applications. This text consists of 11 chapters and begins with a historical overview of the HSAB concept, followed by a classification of hard and soft acids and bases and their theoretical descriptions. The reader is methodically introduced to the stability of organic compounds and complexes; displacement reactions of HSAB; and the chemistry of alkenes, aromatic, and heterocyclic compounds. The reactivity of organophosphorus and carbonyl compounds; organosulfur compounds and other chalcogenides; and organoboranes is also considered. The book concludes with an evaluation of other applications of the HSAB principle, paying particular attention to solubility and protonation; carbenes and nitrenes; the organic chemistry of group IV elements; and the reactions of organohalides, Grignard, and related agents. This book is intended for senior undergraduates or graduate chemistry majors, as well as organic chemists who are not familiar with the HSAB concept.

From reviews of previous volumes: "Essential for chemistry collections at the university and research levels." -New York Public Library "Highly recommended . . . lots of succinct, practical information on recent developments . . . in a format that is easy to use. The reagents are taken up in alphabetical order (common usage names, not CAS indexing codenames), sometimes several to a page, sometimes several pages to a reagent. One can expect to find how to make the reagent (in loose terms), or where it can be bought, what it is good for, and where to seek complete details. As with previous volumes, one can profit from just browsing, even if one does not feel a need to look up any particular subject. It is thus a secondary function of the book to help one keep abreast of the field, and it would be a rare chemist who would not learn something new and useful from a casual perusal of the pages." -Journal of the American Chemical Society This highly successful series has provided generations of professional chemists with a comprehensive, up-to-date look at the reagent literature. Now the series continues with its concise descriptions, good structural formulas, and selected examples of application, providing references to new reagents as well as to reagents included in previous volumes. This volume covers the synthetic literature from 2005 to 2006. CONTENTS: General abbreviations Reference abbreviations Reagents Author index Subject index

Many chemicals are found in "right-" and "left-handed" forms that may react differently in the body. In planning a synthesis, chemists must know how to select the best method for making the preferred form of a chemical. This book shows how to choose the best method for a given synthesis. It provides readers with a thorough understanding of stereoselectivity in organic and medicinal chemistry as well as the pharmaceutical, agricultural, and food industries.

The highly successful Fieser & Fieser series has provided generations of professional chemists with an ongoing and easily-accessible guide to the chemical literature. Volume 20 maintains the same high caliber format of previous volumes, including references to both new reagents and reagents covered in previous volumes.

In recent years the intense activities of enantioselective synthesis have been reflected in the burgeoning and ingenious applications of such natural substances as carbohydrates, -amino acids and terpenes. A comprehensive summary of terpene-based synthesis is offered, focusing on synthetic efforts using transformed chiral synthons. The author provides analysis of synthetic strategies and discusses the intricacies of reaction courses. Along with the number and variety of natural products derived from chiral terpenes, numerous flow-charts aid in clearly delineating synthetic pathways.

The importance of tandem reactions is evident--besides their pragmatic value, they have an aesthetic appeal. The author presents a survey of these reactions that will rivet the attention of numerous chemists to their merits and utility as well as stimulate design and discovery of new sets of tandem reactions. Coverage includes Aldol condensation, Michael Reaction, Dieckmann cyclization, thermal and free radical processes, stitching reactions and much more.

This book highlights the symmetrical characteristics of organic molecules. It demonstrates how to use principles of symmetry to synthesize and prepare both symmetrical and asymmetrical molecules.

This reference emphasizes the tactical considerations needed to optimize synthetic results in the laboratory--an area most books neglect. Bringing together information that currently lies scattered throughout the literature, it approaches synthesis from a modern point of view. Ho presents both the general aspects of molecular assembly and important new reactions and reaction combinations. Includes over 500 flowcharts and illustrations that clearly demonstrate the subjects discussed.

Identifies the polar reactions that are frequently employed in carbogenic synthesis. While touching on retrosynthetic analysis, it's emphasis is on the exploitation and manipulation of the electronic properites of synthons in response to synthetic necessity.

Organic synthesis is essential to creating new materials. While synthetic design has reached a high level of sophistication, many details remain unplannable. To become proficient in organic synthesis, one must study case histories in the same way as a lawyer does. Attention must be paid to overcoming stumbling blocks as one prepares himself to meet future challenges of similar kinds. This book discusses many important syntheses, with emphasis on the need for detours and ways leading back to the main pathways. It thus focuses on one of the most important aspects of organic synthesis, which virtually none of the synoptic literature addresses.
