Publisher's Synopsis
In this first volume of the second supplements, progress between 1972 and 1990 in monofunctional aliphatic chemistry, excluding nitrogen compounds, is systematically reviewed and thoroughly referenced. The space devoted to individual topics follows current research and reflects activity in the area. Thus there is more emphasis on reagent chemistry and the control of stereochemistry in synthesis than in the first supplement. However, the reader will still find that less topical areas of chemistry are still painstakingly documented. In short, nothing of importance, or potential importance is omitted.
