Description
Book SynopsisProtecting Group Chemistry provides an overview of methods that allow specific sites within an organic molecule to be manipulated without affecting other sites. The book emphasises the link between the mechanisms of organic chemistry and the choice of specific protecting groups that block chemical reactivity at those sites that must remain unaffected.
Trade Review"This book is another cracker from the Oxford Chemistry Primers stable that again succeeds by breaking the mould of existing books in the area". Education in Chemistry, January 2003.
