Fiesers Reagents for Organic Synthesis, Volume 26

From reviews of previous volumes:

"Essential for chemistry collections at the university andresearch levels." New York Public Library

"Highly recommended . . . lots of succinct, practicalinformation on recent developments . . . in a format that is easyto use. The reagents are taken up in alphabetical order (commonusage names, not CAS indexing codenames), sometimes several to apage, sometimes several pages to a reagent. One can expect to findhow to make the reagent (in loose terms), or where it can bebought, what it is good for, and where to seek complete details. Aswith previous volumes, one can profit from just browsing, even ifone does not feel a need to look up any particular subject. It isthus a secondary function of the book to help one keep abreast ofthe field, and it would be a rare chemist who would not learnsomething new and useful from a casual perusal of the pages." Journal of the American Chemical Society

This highly successful series has provided generations ofprofessional chemists with a comprehensive, up–to–date look at thereagent literature. Now the series continues with its concisedescriptions, good structural formulas, and selected examples ofapplication, providing references to new reagents as well as toreagents included in previous volumes. This volume covers thesynthetic literature from mid–2008 to through 2009.
