Organic Synthesis: Strategy and Control is thelong-awaited sequel to Stuart Warren’s bestseller OrganicSynthesis: The Disconnection Approach, which looked at theplanning behind the synthesis of compounds. This unique booknow provides a comprehensive, practical account of the key conceptsinvolved in synthesising compounds and focuses on putting theplanning into practice. The two themes of the book are strategy andcontrol: solving problems either by finding an alternativestrategy or by controlling any established strategy to make itwork. The book is divided into five sections that deal withselectivity, carbon-carbon single bonds, carbon-carbon doublebonds, stereochemistry and functional group strategy.A comprehensive, practical account of the key concepts involvedin synthesising compoundsTakes a mechanistic approach, which explains reactions andgives guidelines on how reactions might behave in differentsituationsFocuses on reactions that really work rather than those withlimited applicationContains extensive, up-to-date references in each chapterStudents and professional chemists familiar with OrganicSynthesis: The Disconnection Approach will enjoy the leap intoa book designed for chemists at the coalface of organicsynthesis.
