Organic Synthesis

Strategy and Control
Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Organic Synthesis: Strategy and Control builds on Stuart Warren's bestselling Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach, focusing on developing strategies and control methods in synthesising organic compounds. The book is structured into five sections covering selectivity, carbon–carbon bonds, stereochemistry, and functional group strategies, blending classic and modern techniques with detailed mechanistic explanations, including heterocyclic chemistry integrated throughout.

It emphasises practical methods that work effectively, provides a mechanistic understanding to predict reaction behaviour, and includes extensive, up-to-date references, making it invaluable for students and professional chemists directly engaged in organic synthesis.

Book Hero thinking about your next read

Organic Synthesis: Strategy and Control is the long-awaited sequel to Stuart Warren's bestseller Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach, which looked at the planning behind the synthesis of compounds.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Organic Synthesis: Strategy and Control is a sequel to Stuart Warren's bestseller Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach. The 'Disconnection' book concentrated on the planning behind the synthesis of compounds.

The two themes of this new book are strategy and control: solving problems either by finding an alternative strategy or by controlling any established strategy to make it work.

The book is divided into five sections that deal with selectivity, carbon-carbon single bonds, carbon-carbon double bonds, stereochemistry, and functional group strategy. Interpenetrating this structure, the 36 chapters start with classic methods and progress to modern methods and modern strategic considerations. Heterocyclic chemistry is treated throughout the book with full mechanistic explanations as part of organic chemistry rather than a separate mystery.

  • A comprehensive, practical account of the key concepts involved in synthesising compounds.
  • Takes a mechanistic approach, which explains reactions and gives guidelines on how reactions might behave in different situations.
  • Focuses on reactions that really work rather than those with limited application.
  • Extensive, up-to-date references in each chapter.

Students and professional chemists familiar with Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach will enjoy the leap into a book designed for chemists at the coalface of organic synthesis.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Acclaimed by Chemistry World as transformative in molecular synthesis, this book is praised for its utility and engaging presentation (Reviews, June 2008). The Journal of Chemical Education highlights the decade of effort behind its creation, and the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry recognises its value to experienced practitioners seeking to expand their knowledge of synthetic transformations.
