Publisher's Synopsis
The publication of this volume continues the supplementation of the second edition of Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds thus keeping this major work of reference up-to-date. The contents of this volume supplement chapters 20, 21, and 22 of Volume IVE of the second edition. Chapter 22 of the second edition was a reproduction of chapter IX of the original edition and was published as a tribute to Sir Robert Robinson. Advances in this area have been incorporated into the main text of the supplement. Although the chapters in this book stand on their own, they are intended to be read in conjunction with the parent chapters in the second edition.
