Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis

by Peter G.M. Wuts

An indispensable reference for any practicing synthetic organic or medicinal chemist, this book continues the tradition of Greene’s as comprehensive in the overall scope of coverage, providing the most relevant and useful examples to illustrate each methodology.
• Presents valuable material, on the application of protective groups in organic chemistry, that is not easily found by casual searching
• Helps chemists to plan, investigate, and carry out organic syntheses in an efficient manner
• Adds over 2800 new references to update since the publication of the last edition
• Reviews of the prior "An essential bible for the library or personal bookshelf of chemists performing complex synthesis." (CHOICE, May 2007) "...the most up-to-date compilation available...should be an integral part of all institutional libraries...it is also highly recommended that individuals...maintain their own copy..." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, March 8, 2007) "...continues to be a comprehensive guide to the techniques for the formation and cleavage of protective groups." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, January 31, 2007)

needed some ideas for introducing silyl ether protective groups (to two sterically diverging alcohols on a diol w/ an amide adjacent to the secondary alcohol) and selectively de-protecting the primary alcohol over the secondary in order to perform EDC coupling. this book has everything you could ever possibly need and more FR!

Let me start by saying that I SHOULD be reading something else but there will be time for that after I graduate. From acetate to urea protecting groups...this book has it all.

Genius title. Love it. Want to read it badly.
