Handbook of Reagents for Organic Synthesis

Reduction and oxidation processes are at the heart of almost all synthetic procedures and organic chemists are keen to have a huge portfolio of slick and modern catalytic reagents performing oxidations or reductions. This new volume is part of the Handbook for Reagents for Organic Synthesis series, making use of the leading reagent database e-EROS. It compiles essential reagents in this area, starting with an introductory section discussing the main classes of oxidation catalysts, followed by an alphabetical list of reagents, with an attempt to keep families of catalysts organized by related chemistry for ease of use.
