This Second Edition is the premier name resource in the field. It provides a handy resource for navigating the web of named reactions and reagents. Reactions and reagents are listed alphabetically, followed by relevant mechanisms, experimental data (including yields where available), and references to the primary literature. The text also includes three indices based on reagents and reactions, starting materials, and desired products. Organic chemistry professors, graduate students, and undergraduates, as well as chemists working in industrial, government, and other laboratories, will all find this book to be an invaluable reference.

MICHAEL G. ELLERD is an environmental organic geochemist at Maxim Technologies Inc., and serves as the health and safety training program manager and the health and safety officer for Maxim's Northwest offices.

FRANK G. FAVALORO Jr. is currently employed by Helicon Therapeutics, Inc., located in Farmingdale, New York.

Current indexing schemes do not list reactions and reagents as commonly as they used to. Name Reactions and Reagents in Organic Synthesis, Second Edition provides an up-to-date, concise compilation of the most commonly used and widely known name reactions and reagents in modern synthetic organic chemistry.

Reactions are listed alphabetically, followed by relevant mechanisms, experimental data (including yields, where available), and references to the primary literature. Cross-referenced to March's Advanced Organic Chemistry and Fiesers' Reagents for Organic Synthesis (both from Wiley), this updated Second Edition also includes three easily searchable indices based on reagents and reactions, starting materials, and desired products.

Armed with this invaluable resource, both students and professionals will have at their fingertips a comprehensive guide to important mechanisms and phenomena in organic chemistry.
