The third edition retains the format and coverage of the second edition, with the addition of all literature updates for new groups since 1991.

... to be protected with sections on each class of protection. For example under the chapter “Phenols and Catechols” under the Phenol subheading there are sections discussing Ethers and Esters. Each protecting group is taken in turn and conditions are given for the formation of the protected species. The next paragraph provides cleavage conditions. Potential benefits and difficulties of each method are outlined and all are referenced. Some examples are also shown diagrammatically. The final chapter in t...more

Get your PhD boss to buy a research group copy! I have the second edition of this book but a third edition has come out in the last year or so. The book is essential for PhD and industrial organic chemists. The nature of organic chemistry is at some point going to require you to protect a sensitive group in a reaction at some point during your research. Greene’s book is the bible of protecting group strategy. The third edition apparently retains the format of the second, which is readily understandable. Chapters are sensibly organised into the group to be protected with sections on each class of protection. For example under the chapter ... Read the complete review
