Science of Synthesis

Résumé du livre

Science of Synthesis: Houben-Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformations is the
entirely new edition of the acclaimed reference series, Houben-Weyl, the
standard synthetic chemistry resource since 1909. This new edition is published
in English and will comprise of 48 volumes published between the years 2000 and
2008.

Science of Synthesis is a quality reference work developed by a highly
esteemed editorial board to provide a comprehensive and critical selection of
reliable organic and organometallic synthetic methods. Science of Synthesis is
designed to be the first point of reference when searching for a synthesis
strategy.

This volume covers compounds of the group 15 metaloids (As, Sb, Bi) and
Silicon. In Volume 4, there are single chapters devoted to each of the three
group 15 elements, and then 42 chapters for the various kinds of
silicon-containing compounds used in organic synthesis. The chapters are
organized by the functionality attached to the element, and appear in an order
determined by the rules used for the whole series of Science of Synthesis, with
the space given to each determined both by the range of chemistry that needs to
be described and by the importance of the functional arrangement in synthesis.
