Reflecting the increased pace of research and the many recent advances in organic chemistry, the Organic Syntheses series serves as a single source compendium of the most up-to-date procedures in use. Organic Syntheses consists of protocols for the synthesis of useful chemical compounds. For each protocol, safety warnings are presented along with detailed experimental descriptions for the preparation, purification, and identification of the compound. Additionally, special reaction conditions are detailed, along with the source of reagents, waste disposal information, a discussion of the results, references to the primary literature, and an appendix of nomenclature and registry numbers.
