PREFACE
By their compilation of Volumes 1 and 2 of this Compendium, Ian and
Shuyen Harrison filled one of the greatest needs of the synthetic community:
a method for rapidly retrieving needed information from the literature by
reaction type rather than by the author’s name or publicationd ate.
Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Volume 4, presents the func-
tional group transformations and difunctional compound preparations of
1977, 1978, and 1979. We have attempted to follow as closely as possible
the classification schemes of the first three volumes; the experienced user of
the Compendium will require additional instructions on the use of this
no
volume.
Perhaps it is fitting here to echo the Harrisons’ request stated in Volume 2
of the Compendium: The synthetic literature would become more easily ac-
cessible and more useful if chemists could write well-organized, concise
papers with charts and diagrams that allow the reader to assess quickly and
easily the scope of the published research. In addition, the reporting of ac-
tual, isolated yields and detailed experimental conditions will save a great
deal of wasted effort on the part of other chemists hoping to apply the re-
ported reactions to their own synthetic problems.
I wish to express my gratitude to the many people who helped to bring this
book to completion: To Mrs. JoAnn Barley for her patience and dedication in
the typing of the camera-ready copy; to Roy Smith, James McKearin, and
Jon Lawson for proofreading the manuscript with great care and offering
hundreds of helpful suggestions; and to my wife Betsy for her patience and
moral support throughout the arduous preparation of this Compendium.
