Introduction to Strategies for Organic Synthesis, 2nd Edition

This book fills the void that exists in the current market by aiming at undergraduate students who are just beginning to focus on organic synthesis. Organic synthesis is an advanced topic and is the subject of volumes of current research. Therefore, the textbooks on the market strive to capture the latest advances and most recent literature references. As a result, these books are almost exclusively written for an experienced audience. This book helps readers feel comfortable performing retrosynthetic analyses of target molecule synthesis and they will have a more secure understanding of organic chemistry reactions overall. Along with updates and revisions to all the chapters, the 2^nd edition adds: a new chapter on organometallic reactions, in-chapter problems, and an increase in the number of literature-based problems.
