Protecting Group Chemistry

By Jeremy Robertson

Number 95 in the well-known Oxford Chemistry Primer series provides an overview of methods that allow specific sites within an organic molecule to be manipulated without affecting other sites. The book emphasizes the link between the mechanisms of organic chemistry and the choice of specific
protecting groups that block chemical reactivity at those sites that must remain unaffected. The treatment differs from traditional texts in that it places the emphasis on making a connection between the fundamental mechanisms of organic chemisry - ionization, substitution, addition, elimination,
oxidation, and reductionand how a particular protecting group can best be selected in a given situation.
