Transition Metals for Organic Synthesis Building Blocks and Fine Chemicals Vol 2
Review
“…an imperative reference tool for anyone touching on the discipline.” (Electric Review, September/October 2006)

“So—a veritable feast of chemistry! At 270, this is not perhaps the cheapest reference text, but it is without doubt one of the very best, and every serious synthetic organic chemist, whether student or experienced practitioner, should have access to a copy, which I am sure they will subsequently find to be indispensible. It is an essential addition to all academic and industrial reference libraries. Strongly recommended, and without reservation.” (Organic Process Research & Development)

“A comparison with the first edition…shows that most chapters have been constructively modernized. In some cases, the first contribution by the author was updated with an additional section. The chapters are written, in the main, by world-leading experts…. All chapters have information listed in tables and helpful schemes. Chapters are appropriately sectioned and referenced extremely well, so that the reader will be completely up-to-date for the next five to ten years…. The subject index section contains significant keywords, which is very useful, and most topics of interest can be found in a few seconds.(…) Overall, as a holder of the first edition of the book, I have no reservation in recommending this second edition. It is a must-have book for every research laboratory, and importantly it is a pageturner. It is generally very well structured and the majority of key references are included—it is quite extraordinary that so many areas have been covered in ca. 1300 pages—which at the very least provides an excellent starting point for this everexpanding branch of synthetic chemistry.” (Applied Organometallic Chemistry)
From the Back Cover
Transition Metals for Organic Synthesis Building Blocks and Fine Chemicals Edited by Matthias Beller and Carsten Bolm Volume 1 The application of transition metals in organic synthesis, be it as catalysts or mediators, is one of the most interesting interdisciplinary topics in chemistry. The enormous breadth of transition metals in both research and industry is comprehensively covered by the team of over 70 international experts assembeled for this two-volume set. The title presents the current state of research and application in the economically and scientifically important area of transition metals for organic synthesis and fine chemicals production. The title’s high quality contributors, over 1000 figures, well-balanced presentation, and excellent indices all combine to allow the reader easy access to the thorough and topical compilation of the use of transition metals in organic chemistry. The two-volume set ‘Transition Metals for Organic Synthesis’ is an indispensable tool for everyone working in academic or industrial application of transition metals in chemistry. –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
