Reviews of the Fourth Edition: ''This is the 4th edition of a classic collection of organic reactions which have been named after the original chemist with which they are associated. It now covers over 300 classical and contemporary name reactions. Each entry includes the name of the reaction, a short description, the step-by-step mechanism, two to three representative examples and a list of references, updated in many cases up to 2009. Biographical sketches for the chemists who discovered or developed those name reactions have been included.  A useful resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students for learning and exams, but also a good reference book for all organic chemists.'' Gordon Fisher, Chemistry World, December, 2009.   Aus den Rezensionen zur 3. Auflage: "… massgeblich erweitert! … interessant zu lesen … Gegenüber der zweiten Auflage wird der Platz effektiver genutzt … ‘Name Reactions‘ ist ein äusserst nützliches Buch, um einen ersten Einstieg zu einer Vielzahl an wichtigen … aktuellen Namensreaktionen zu erhalten. Die mechanistischen Erläuterungen in Form von ausgezeichneten Schemen sind darüber hinaus eine Grundlage für den fortgeschrittenen Studenten, diese Mechanismen zu üben. Gegenüber der zweiten Auflage wurden … Fehler korrigiert, so dass das Buch … unter dem Gesichtspunkt der gelungenen Erweiterungen - zum Kauf empfohlen werden kann!" (http://www.organische-chemie.ch/Buch/3540300309.htm)

Book Description

This book differs from others on name reactions in organic chemistry by focusing on their mechanisms. It covers over 300 classical as well as contemporary name reactions. Biographical sketches for the chemists who discovered or developed those name reactions have been included. Each reaction is delineated by its detailed step-by-step, electron-pushing mechanism, supplemented with the original and the latest references, especially review articles. This book contains major improvements over the previous edition and the subject index is significantly expanded.

5.0 out of 5 stars A excellent collection of important Name Reactions, April 10 2004
By 
This review is from: Name Reactions: A Collection of Detailed Reaction Mechanisms (Hardcover)
This book is a must for any undergrad, graduate student or for that matter, CHEMIST, at any level who is interested in Name Reactions. It contains 331 name reactions that range from classic organic chemistry to modern day organic chemistry. An excellent collection of important name reactions that is in an easy to read format. Each reaction contains a brief summary, a general reaction scheme and a detailed arrow pushing mechanism.

I really like this book because of its contents and simplicity. Its very easy to find the reaction you are looking for and the information is complete. It would be very helpful in studying for advance organic chemistry exams or as a quick reference when you do not know a particular named reaction. The index is about average for this type of book; however, this book is based on the fact that you are looking up named reactions and not using it as a functional group conversion reference.

After all is said and done, I can truly say that I am glad I purchased this book. It is a complete summary of named reactions and I look forward to using it in the years to come.

Thanks

3.0 out of 5 stars Basic Named Reaction Book, Sep 2 2008
By Christopher J. Blanton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Name Reactions: A Collection of Detailed Reaction Mechanisms (Hardcover)
Dr. Li's Name Reactions is a very good but basic name reactions book. It covers the reaction mechanics but does not offer the background information and comprehensive literature references of Laszlo Kurti's and Barbara Czako's Strategic Applications of Named Reactions in Organic Synthesis.

It is also much sparser and limited than Name Reactions and Reagents in Organic Synthesis, which includes examples of the use of the named reactions and also the use and mechanisms of named reagents.

Li's book is very good but is limited in comparison to the competitors. It is not a bad book but does not offer the value and utility of the other books named in this review.

5.0 out of 5 stars The named reactions bible, Aug 15 2005
By B. Pichette - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Name Reactions: A Collection of Detailed Reaction Mechanisms (Hardcover)
This book is fantastic! It has a complete set of every important named reaction with its respective mechanism and literature references. The simple layout makes this book very user friendly. The mechanisms are easy to follow and the references are very useful making this book excellent for use at any level from undergraduate to graduate and beyond. This book is a definite must have for anyone studying advanced organic chemistry, as it is the named reactions bible.
