The first chapter describes the manifold ways in which the latent functionality embedded in the humble heterocycle furan can be revealed by various oxidative processes.The second chapter details the fascinating cycloaddition and electrocyclization chemistry of unsaturated ketenes. The third chapter chronicles the development of a remarkable organometallic reaction of unactivated alkenes and alkynes, namely carbozincation.

The only book series to summarize the latest progress on organic reaction mechanisms, Organic Reaction Mechanisms, 1987 surveys the development in understanding of the main classes of organic reaction mechanisms reported in the primary scientific literature in 1987. The 23rd annual volume in this highly successful series highlights mechanisms of stereo-specific reactions. Reviews are compiled by a team of experienced editors and authors, allowing advanced undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and chemists to rely on the volume's continuing quality of selection and presentation.

The latest volume in this series for organic chemists in industry presents critical discussions of widely used organic reactions or particular phases of a reaction. The material is treated from a preparative viewpoint, with emphasis on limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the selection of experimental techniques. The work includes tables that contain all possible examples of the reaction under consideration. Detailed procedures illustrate the significant modifications of each method.

Volume 88 represents the tenth single-chapter-volume produced in our 73-year history. Such single-chapter volumes represent definitive treatises on extremely important chemical transformations. The success of the research efforts over the past 20 years forms the basis for the single chapter in this volume namely, Hydroamination of Alkenes by Alexander L. Reznichenko and Kai C. Hultzsch. The authors have compiled an enormous (and growing) literature and distilled it into an extraordinarily useful treatise on all aspects of the hydroamination process.

Band 112 der Reihe Organic Reactions enthält einen sorgfältig kuratierten Überblick über die wissenschaftliche Literatur zum 50-jährigen Jubiläum der Ugi-Reaktion. Es werden die praktischen und theoretischen Aspekte einer der am häufigsten genutzten Reaktionen in der organischen Chemie betrachtet, wobei sowohl die eigentliche Ugi-Reaktion als auch ihre zahlreichen Varianten im Fokus stehen. Dieser Band wird in zwei Teilen (A und B) herausgebracht. Die bereits seit 1942 erscheinende Reihe Organic Reactions zählt im Bereich der organischen Chemie weltweit zu den führenden Sekundär- und Tertiärquellen.

A carefully curated review of the scientific literature on selected organic reactions, Volume 110 of the Organic Reactions series delivers insightful invited reviews of primary research material in the field of organic chemistry. The latest volume explores the practical and theoretical aspects of the reaction under discussion. The Organic Reactions series is a renowned, peer-reviewed reference in publication since 1942. It is one of the leading secondary- and tertiary-level sources in organic chemistry today.

The 109th volume in this series for organic chemists in academia and industry presents critical discussions of widely used organic reactions or particular steps of a reaction. The material is treated from a preparative viewpoint, with emphasis on limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the selection of experimental techniques. The work includes tables that contain all possible examples of the reaction under consideration. Detailed procedures illustrate the significant modifications of each method.

Organic syntheses consists of protocols for the synthesis of useful chemical compounds. Organic Syntheses, Volume 87 provides carefully checked and edited experimental protocols that describe important synthetic methods, transformations, reagents, and synthetic building blocks or intermediates with demonstrated utility in organic synthesis. 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 also detailed. This current volume continues the tradition of providing significant and interesting procedures for synthetic chemists working in increasingly diverse areas.

A carefully curated review of the scientific literature, Volume 114 of Organic Reactions presents critical discussions of widely used organic reactions or particular steps of a reaction. The material is treated from a preparative viewpoint, with emphasis on limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the selection of experimental techniques. The work includes tables that contain all possible examples of the reaction under consideration. Detailed procedures illustrate the significant modifications of each method. Launched in 1942, the Organic Reactions series today is a leading secondary- and tertiary-level source for organic chemists across the world.
