| Description: |
The Comprehensive e-Book of Named Organic Reactions and Their
Mechanisms, 2nd Edition. By Elbertus Kruiswijk. Emedia, 2005. 1976 pp, 8.26 MB, $50. ISBN: 0-9544302-1-2
There are numerous organic chemistry books on the market dealing with named organic reactions and reagents. This is for good reason, because a named reaction by itself usually supplies enough information to describe an organic transformation and its mechanism quickly and completely to an educated audience. As the title of this e-book indicates, this is comprehensive and by the number of pages (1976), named reactions (1308), and references (>7000) I would have to agree.
The author has divided each reaction into the following categories: example, mechanism, disconnection, notes, references, and comments. The example provides a reaction scheme that is suitable for the general reaction. In the mechanism section the readers should not expect a complete mechanism but the major intermediates and sometimes several curved arrows. The disconnection section contains a retrosynthetic scheme for the named reaction. The notes section gives a short description and is where you will find the “see also” sentence for related named reactions. The references include citations to reference books (March, Smith–March, Houben–Weyl, Org. Synth., etc.) and then literature references in chronological order. The comments section is blank space for the reader to add their own notes, but unfortunately the security setting for this edition does not give the owner permission to add these notes into the e-book.
This e-book can be browsed using Adobe Acrobat (the author has recommended version 7.0 for the pdf document). The most important advantage of the e-book format for this type of comprehensive work is that the file can be efficiently searched for any word or phrase, including names. The author advises, and I agree, that if you know the name for which you are looking, then the index (pp 1949–1975) is the place to look. When searching for keywords such as ketone (316 instances), radical (88 instances), and nitrile oxide (4 instances) or names such as Corey (237 instances), Sharpless (52 instances), or Grubbs (8 instances), you can quickly double-click through each of the instances, scan, and retrieve the needed information or references. Do not forget that you can search fragments such as “reduc” which will find instances for reduction, reductions, reductive, reduces, reduced, and reducing (total instances found: 263).
From the Abramov phosphonylation reaction to the Zinovev–Soborovski reaction, this book includes more than other named reaction books or databases I have read or seen. I have attempted to do some research to verify the completeness of this named reaction e-book. After examining every 50th page in Name Reactions and Reagents in Organic Synthesis, 2nd ed.; Mundy, B. P.; Ellerd, M. G.; Favaloro, Jr., F. G. Wiley: New York, 2005, I found that all these random reactions were included in this e-book. I also examined the named reactions from student presentations given in the advanced organic chemistry course at Ball State University over the past two years and again, all were accounted for in this e-book. It should be remembered that this e-book includes only those reactions named after people. This second edition has been expanded and updated through the current literature for the week of August 15, 2005. Besides edits, corrections, and the newly added beginning of chapter indexes from the 1st edition, there is substantial new material and some new reactions. Searching this edition has found 98 references to articles from various journals published in 2005.
This e-book should be very beneficial to the well-trained organic chemist as an easily searchable reference tool. Another advantage of the e-book format is the price, which makes it affordable for scientists to have a copy on their computer. I am pleased to recommend this e-book to advanced organic students, researchers utilizing organic chemistry, and chemical educators for ideas in research and teaching.
I have only the 2nd Edition,and the links is the introduce of 3rd Edition.
