Oxidation of Alcohols to Aldehydes and Ketones

The aim of this book is to help people performing routine operations in Organic Synthesis in a laboratory. This book, the first one in a series, focuses on the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. Probably, this is the most important routine operation in Organic Synthesis.

Full experimental parts for important oxidations for preparing new organic chemicals are provided for use as a reference in laboratories, helps avoid the need to consult original research articles Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Klappentext

This book is a must for anyone involved in the preparation of organic compounds. It is the first one in a new series on basic reactions in organic synthesis. It provides plenty of detailed and useful information in the practical aspects of the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones, which is probably the most important reaction in the synthesis of organic compounds.
