Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations III (COFGT-III) will provide the first point of entry to the literature for all scientists interested in chemical transformations. Presenting the vast subject of organic synthesis in terms of the introduction and interconversion of all known functional groups, COFGT-III provides a unique information source documenting all methods of efficiently performing a particular transformation. Organized by the functional group formed, COFGT-III will consist of 150 specialist reviews, written by leading scientists who evaluate and summarize the methods available for each functional group transformation.COFGT-III will be published online and in print as a 6500-page, seven volume work.
- Follows a systematic layout, based on the arrangement and bonding of hetero atoms around a central carbon atom.
- Detailed functional group transformations (how to efficiently convert compound A to B) to help select the best way of forming new organic compounds with specific properties for biological, pharmaceutical, and other industrial uses.
- Saves researchers valuable time in their research as each chapter is written by experts who have critically read and reviewed the literature and presented the best methods of forming every known functional group.
- Chapters follow a consistent structure and feature elements such as key objective boxes, summaries, figures, methods, schemes, and tables
Advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers both from academia and industry in the organic chemistry domain.
The work will also be of interest for institutions and companies in the organic, pharmaceutical, agrochemical, medicinal and materials science areas.
