Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis

by Theodora W. Greene

Provides comprehensive information on the most useful protective groups for the hydroxyl, amino, carboxyl, carbonyl, and sulfhydryl groups. Discusses the chemistry of the classes of protective groups, as well as that of the individual protective groups within the class using structures, equations and references. Reactivity Charts for each class of protective group serve as an aid in their appropriate choice and provide estimates of their relative reactivities toward 108 prototype reagents.

[Eileen Foley]

Is this a book I’ve read out of my own free will? Technically yes, (if you consider referencing it for synthesis methods reading but I’m a chemist not a philosopher). But if I have for try and find a protection synthesis of the azide group one more time, I’m going to burn every stupid edition I can get my hands on
