FUNCTIONAL GROUP TRANSFORMATIONS

A chemist who undertakes the synthesis of an organic compound of some complexity must consider three aspects: (1) the synthesis of the functional groups in the final molecule plus those needed at intermediate stages, (2) the formation of carbon–carbon bonds to develop larger molecules, and (3) the strategy of selecting starting materials and intermediate goals. A chapter is devoted to each; the first is concerned with functional groups.

The current practical alternatives for preparing each functional group include many classical reactions with relatively known mechanisms, plus many modern ones with complex or often unknown mechanisms. The introductory texts favor conceptually simple methods applied to small monofunctional molecules. A broader selection of methods is chosen here and new methods are published regularly. Online sources can be the most readily accessed and up to date[1]. The functional group syntheses that involve carbon–carbon bond forming reactions are presented in Chapter 7.
