Summary
Summary
Handbook of Reagents for Organic Synthesis Reagents, Auxiliaries and Catalysts for C-C Bond Formation Robert M. Coates and Scott E. Denmark The University of Illinois, Urbana, USA Recognising the critical need for bringing a handy reference work that deals with the most popular reagents in synthesis to the laboratory of practising organic chemists, the Editors, of the acclaimed Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis (EROS) have selected the most important and useful reagents employed in contemporary organic synthesis. The Handbook of Reagents for Organic Synthesis; Reagents Auxiliaries and Catalysts for C-C Bond Formation, provides practical and concise information on a diverse group of reagents. To familiarise the user with the spectrum of reagents contained within this volume, the editors have subdivided more than 200 entries into 22 classes based on their chemical structures and function. The articles, arranged alphabetically, contain all of the information found in EROS as well as expanded reagents listings. In addition, new listings of recently published review articles and monographs are included, as well as relevant Organic Syntheses procedures that deal with either the preparations or reactions of the featured reagents. This comprehensive and well referenced handbook will prove of great value to all practitioners in the field of organic chemistry.

Choice Review
This four-volume handbook provides detailed information on selected topics from the more extensive (and more expensive) eight-volume Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis (EROS) (1995). The decision on which topics to incorporate into this relatively abbreviated handbook was based on conclusions about which information had "the highest probability for repeated consultation." The handbook's four volumes are very well organized and easy to use. Volume 1, Reagents, Auxiliaries and Catalysts, for example, details the use of 203 reagents. These are divided into 22 classes based upon chemical structure and are arranged alphabetically. The addition of a "Related Reagents" section is especially valuable in that it allows the reader to locate relevant material both in the other volumes and also in the original EROS. Volume 2, Oxidizing and Reducing Agents, outlines 145 of the most important oxidizing and reducing agents. It also includes a detailed discussion of related synthetic transformations effected by these agents that are not necessarily involved in the oxidation or reduction itself. New material (not found in the original EROS) is included. Volume 3, Acidic and Basic Reagents, contains a discussion not only of traditional acids and bases but also of complexing agents, ligands, and biocatalysts. The final volume, Activating Agents and Protecting Groups, contains an alphabetical listing of both well-known and novel reagents. The decision on which reagents to include was based on describing only those reagents "that are used stoichiometrically, and that are relatively familiar to the organic chemistry community." As in the other volumes, references to relevant articles from the monographic series "Organic Synthesis" and to recent review articles and monographs are included. Each volume contains a valuable list of general abbreviations and reference abbreviations as well as a list of contributors, a reagent formula index, and an extensive subject index. Clear structural representations, concise, well-written descriptions of the reagents, and an amazingly error-free text make this set a must for all practicing organic chemists who do not have access to the more detailed EROS.
