Publisher description
"Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations (COFGT)" covers in
seven volumes the vast subject of organic synthesis in terms of the
introduction and interconversion of functional groups. All organic structures
can be considered as skeletal frameworks of carbon atoms to which functional
groups are attached or in which they are embedded. These functional groups are
largely responsible for chemical and biological activity and it is these
functional groups which are highlighted in "COFGT". This new comprehensive work
will complement the existing "Comprehensive Organic Synthesis (COS)". Thus
while "COS" is organized by reaction type, we have adopted in "COFGT" a rather
rigorous, logical and formal treatment on the basis of structure, which enables
a detailed analysis of all known (and indeed of some as yet unknown) functional
groups and which deals rationally and comprehensively with the methods for
their construction. Thus volume 1 deals with syntheses involving alteration in the bonding of
carbon atoms which possess no attached heteroatoms. Volumes 2 and 3 deal with
carbons with one attached heteroatom. Volumes 4 and 5 with carbons with two
attached heteroatoms and volume 6 with carbons with three and four attached
heteroatoms. Volume 7 is the index volume. A major advantage of the present
work lies in the accessibility of the information. "COFGT" should provide the
first point of entry to the literature for synthetic organic chemists together
with an unrivalled source for anyone interested in less common or obscure or
unknown functional groups. All seven volumes will be published simultaneously
to provide a "state-of-the-art" coverage to "COFGT" in terms of authoritative
authorship and a high level of presentation. It should appeal to all academic
and industrial researchers involved with organic chemistry together with
teachers at all levels. This seven-volume work presents the subject of organic synthesis in terms
of the introduction and interconversion of functional groups. Volumes cover
such areas as carbon with no attached heteroatoms and carbon with one
heteroatom attached by a single bond.
