Publisher's Synopsis
A systematic manual providing a user-friendly guide for access into the complex procedure of making new compounds. A key feature is the pull-out flow chart which leads users to an appropriate numbered section where detailed instructions are provided. Preferred IUPAC nomenclature is used, and no background study is required of current legislation.;Following on the success of the first edition, the author has now added new sections including azo-, diazo-, and diazonium compounds, and other chains of N-atoms. Sections on amines, ketones and oximes have been expanded and spiro-compounds treated in greater detail. Extensive re-wording of the text, and insertion of some new examples serve to bring the book up to date.
