Comprehensive Organic Transformations on CD-ROM: A Guide to Functional Group Preparations

VCH Publishers is proud to announce that a searchable electronic version of the critically acclaimed and best-selling handbook 'Comprehensive Organic Transformations' by Richard C. Larock soon will be available on CD-ROM. 'Comprehensive Organic Transformations on CD-ROM' will contain almost 15.000 reactions and more than 23.000 references, and will follow the same systematic organization used so successfully in the book.
In 'Comprehensive Organic Transformations on CD-ROM' transformations are organized into major sections according to the class of functional group synthesized. Transformations within each section are grouped according to reaction type. Extensive tables list the most important reagents used to effect each transformation. All transformations presented are fully referenced, with citations from over 160 journals, books and reviews. The Transformation Index lists all organic transformations covered in the text by chemical name, sorted in two ways: according to the organic product of the transformation (as in the print edition), and according to the organic starting material (a new feature).
'Comprehensive Organic Transformations on CD-ROM' is designed with easy-to-use Polio VIEWS software and may be run on either Windows or Macintosh operating systems.
