Seminars in Organic Synthesis

The latest volume in this respected series encompasses subjects as diverse as peptide synthesis, the use of NMR spectroscopy for configuration determination, applications of oxiranyl and aziridinyl anions in synthesis, and low environmental impact processes, with reference to the pharmaceutical industry. Ethical issues concerning research are also discussed. Critical surveys are presented on: total syntheses of natural products; compounds in organic synthesis; the introduction and transformation of functional groups; and solid supported synthesis. This volume will be an invaluable reference source for students and researchers in both academia and industry.
