A practical handbook for chemists performing bond forming reactions, this book features useful information on the synthesis of common functional groups in organic chemistry.

• Details modern functional group synthesis through carbon-heteroelement (N, O, P, S, B, halogen) bond forming reactions with a focus on operational simplicity and sustainability.
• Summarizes key and recent developments – which are otherwise scattered across journal literature – into a single source
• Contains over 100 detailed preparations of common functional groups
• Included 25 troubleshooting guides with suggestions and potential solutions to common problems.
• Complements the text in enhanced ebook editions with tutorial videos where the author provides an introduction to microwave assisted chemistry

Robert A. Stockland, Jr., PhD, is a Professor of Chemistry at Bucknell University where he teaches organic and inorganic chemistry. His research interests are focused on the development of new synthetic methodology leading to the preparation of new compounds and challenging linkages. In addition to reporting the synthesis of over 200 new compounds, Dr. Stockland has authored a book chapter on sustainable organic reactions and co-edited a symposium book on NMR spectroscopy.
