| Kocienski Protecting Groups (softcover) Reviews"Possesses a number of noteworthy features: it is well organized, covers useful information, and is eminently readable--an excellent combination. A chart of protection methods and functional groups is located inside the front cover and provides almost immediate access to any transformation that is of interest. Additionally, the index is very thorough and provides access in a more traditional manner. The coverage of the text is extensive and includes references from 1990 to 2001. There are several other distinctive features that make this volume noteworthy: for example, at several junctures, the characteristic features of the H-! And C-13 NMR spectra of the protecting group are noted. This makes practical information immediately at hand so the reader does not have to access the original literature to obtain this information. Also, the key functional groups undergoing the reaction are highlighted in blue in the drawings. Finally, the price is right, well within the means of students and faculty alike. Although the book is paperback, the price is very reasonable considering that this is the sort of book that will remain in your library for many years to come and will take its place alongside the other indispensable volumes used daily in research. At the moment, this volume looks bright and new sitting on my bookshelf, but I anticipate that it will quickly take on the well-worn patina of a book that sees extensive use by everyone in my lab."--Journal of the American Chemical Society |
