Protecting Groups

The didactic presentation of the material makes this book an essential bench-top tool not only for specialists in organic chemistry, but also for students and all those involved in the preparation of organic molecules.Key Features:A critical survey of the most used protecting groups, as used by organic chemistsOrganization based on functional groups: hydroxyl ; diol; carbonyl; carboxyl; amineSpecial emphasis placed on deprotection conditions applied to complex structures where selectivity is a prime issueTransformations accompanied by key experimental detailsExamples from the recent literature span a wide domain of organic synthesisOver 500 schemes aid visual retrievalEnd-of-chapter list reviews which amplify topics covered.
