Beginning with a thorough review of reagents, functional groups, and their reactions, this book prepares students to progress into advanced synthetic strategies. Major reactions are presented from a mechanistic perspective and then again from a synthetic chemist’s point of view to help students shift their thought patterns and teach them how to imagine the series of reactions needed to reach a desired target molecule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSuccess in organic synthesis requires not only familiarity with common reagents and functional group interconversions, but also a deep understanding of functional group behaviour and reactivity. This book provides clear explanations of such reactivities and explicitly teaches students how to make logical disconnections of a target molecule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis new Second Edition of \u003cem\u003eIntroduction to Strategies for Organic Synthesis\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReviews fundamental organic chemistry concepts, including functional group transformations, reagents, stereochemistry, and mechanisms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExplores advanced topics including protective groups, synthetic equivalents, and transition-metal-mediated coupling reactions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelps students envision forward reactions and backwards disconnections as a matter of routine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGives students confidence in performing retrosynthetic analyses of target molecules, includes fully-worked examples, literature-based problems, and over 450 chapter problems with detailed solutions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProvides clear explanations in easy-to-follow, student-friendly language.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFocuses on the \u003cem\u003estrategies\u003c\/em\u003e of organic synthesis rather than a catalogue of reactions and modern reagents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe prospect of organic synthesis can be daunting at the outset, but this book serves as a useful stepping stone to refresh existing knowledge of organic chemistry while introducing the general strategies of synthesis.
