Modern Organic Synthesis: An Introduction

Organized into 9 chapters, Modern Organic Synthesis covers key concepts that include: retrosynthesis, conformational analysis, and functional group transformations. The new edition thoroughly updates the material, examples, and references, as well as the end–of–chapter problems and companion solutions manual.

The authors, all of whom are experienced teaching professors of organic chemistry, have selected and present the modern techniques and methods likely to be encountered in a synthetic project with examples based on applicability, versatility and selectivity.

Continuing the legacy of its innovative predecessor, this second edition bridges the gap between sophomore and advanced / graduate level organic chemistry courses, providing students with a necessary background to begin research in either an industry or academic environment
