Description
Protecting Group Chemistry by Jeremy Robertson provides a comprehensive overview of the methods used to block the reactivity of specific functional groups in molecules. The book introduces the concept of protecting group devices as a unifying approach to various methods, and explains how to select the best protecting group for a given situation. The book is structured around broad classes of experimental conditions that lead to the cleavage of each protecting group, including acid/electrophile, base/nucleophile, oxidising, and reducing agents. By connecting the fundamental mechanisms of organic chemistry to protecting group selection, the book offers a unique perspective on this important topic. This book is ideal for those seeking a detailed understanding of protecting group chemistry and its applications in organic chemistry.
