A convenient, compact summary of the state of the art of organic synthesis


"These days, when such an overwhelming amount of material is published, it is convenient to be able to access summarized information and gain a quick overview of a current topic," wrote Kilian Muniz in Angewandte Chemie International Edition about Douglass Taber's weekly "Organic Chemistry Highlights" column on the organic-chemistry.org Web site.

The first in a new series, Organic Synthesis: State of the Art 2003-2005 pulls together two years' worth of Taber's popular and highly-regarded column, and comprises a concise, extremely useful overview of current accomplishments in the field of organic synthesis. The 103 articles in this volume review the leading synthetic procedures developed over the last two years, discussing their significance and their applications. The more than 100 reactions covered in this First Volume of the series include:
* Heterocycle Construction by Grubbs Metathesis
* Enantioselective C-C Bond Construction
* Organic Reactions in Ionic Liquids

Enhanced by author and subject-transformation indices, Organic Synthesis: State of the Art 2003-2005 offers chemists an effective, much-needed way to stay abreast of what's new and exciting in their field.

"...an excellent survey of modern synthetic transformations." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, December 28, 2006)

"...definitely a book to take on a long international flight to catch up on papers you may have missed." (Organic Process Research and Development Journal, July 2007)
Douglass F. Taber is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware. Professor Taber received his BS from Stanford University in 1970, and his PhD from Columbia University in 1974.?Following a postdoctoral appointment with Professor Barry Trost at the University of Wisconsin, he was assistant professor at Vanderbilt University from 1975-1982, when he moved to the University of Delaware. Professor Taber has more than 170 publications in the organic chemistry field, and has authored eight book chapters and three books. His research interests include the stereoselective synthesis of natural products, new methods in synthetic organic chemistry, and computational organometallic chemistry in organic synthesis.
