Advanced Organic Chemistry: Part B: Reaction and Synthesis

by Francis A. Carey

The two-part, fifth edition of Advanced Organic Chemistry has been substantially revised and reorganized for greater clarity. The material has been updated to reflect advances in the field since the previous edition, especially in computational chemistry. Part B describes the most general and useful synthetic reactions, organized on the basis of reaction type. It can stand-alone; together, with Part Structure and Mechanisms, the two volumes provide a comprehensive foundation for the study in organic chemistry. Companion websites provide digital models for students and exercise solutions for instructors.

It is very comprehensive and has thousands of examples, many of whose mechanisms my friends and I worked out on our own so that we'd gain confidence in the process. Also, we followed the procedure given in this book for the synthesis of Z-Jasmone, Juvabione etc
But essentially, this is advanced and we mainly used it as a reference book.

Since its original appearance in 1977, Advanced Organic Chemistry has maintained its place as the premier textbook in the field, offering broad coverage of the structure, reactivity and synthesis of organic compounds. As in the earlier editions, the text contains extensive references to both the primary and review literature and provides examples of data and reactions that illustrate and document the generalizations. While the text assumes completion of an introductory course in organic chemistry, it reviews the fundamental concepts for each topic that is discussed.
The two-part fifth edition has been substantially revised and reorganized for greater clarity. Among the changes: Updated material reflecting advances in the field since 2001’s Fourth Edition, especially in computational chemistry; A companion Web site provides digital models for study of structure, reaction and selectivity; Solutions to the exercises provided to instructors online.
The control of reactivity to achieve specific syntheses is one of the overarching goals of organic chemistry. Part B describes the most general and useful synthetic reactions, organized on the basis of reaction type. Together with Part A: Structure and Mechanisms, the two volumes are intended to provide the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student in chemistry with a sufficient foundation to comprehend and use the research literature in organic chemistry.

I Farid.I am from Azerbaijan ! How are You? I am very glad with you from acquaintance.I am working at the Baku State University as researcher in organic chemistry laboratory. I searched your last book on internet. I have not access to get this book! But I am very interested with this book. Could you please send me your book (or electron version) with your personal signature in first page of this book. It would be great honour for me!

Best regards !!!
