Table of Contents in Reactions and Syntheses In the Organic Chemistry Laboratory by Lutz F. Tietze

The book starts with the cover page and other introductory sections like related titles, where readers can find references to works similar to the topics covered in the book. This is followed by the title page, which provides the full title and any related information. After that, the copyright section outlines the legal rights granted to the content, ensuring the intellectual property of the authors is respected.

The preface to the first edition introduces readers to the original scope of the book, explaining the motivation behind its creation and how it was designed to address specific gaps in the literature. The background section follows, offering a historical overview of the subject matter and detailing the fundamental reactions and principles discussed throughout the book. This part helps set the stage for the more complex content that comes later.

Next is the section on the organization of the book and directions for its use. This part serves as a roadmap, helping readers navigate the material and suggesting ways they might approach the chapters, depending on their prior knowledge or areas of interest. A references section is included here to provide sources that support the material, offering additional reading for those who want to explore the topics further.

In the preface to the second edition, the authors highlight any updates or revisions made since the first edition, incorporating advancements in the field as well as feedback from readers. This is followed by another reference section that supports these updates. Afterward, the acknowledgments section gives thanks to individuals and institutions that contributed to the development of the book. The about the authors section provides biographies of the contributors, showcasing their expertise in the field, and helping to establish the book’s authority.

The section on abbreviations and symbols lists all the shorthand and notations used throughout the text. Given the complexity of the material, this section is crucial for ensuring that readers understand the various symbols and can follow the content without confusion.

The first chapter, C–C bond formation, dives into the mechanics of carbon-carbon bond formation, a cornerstone of organic chemistry. It begins with nucleophilic addition to aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acid derivatives like esters and anhydrides, and alpha-beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. This also includes carbonyl olefination, a reaction that transforms carbonyl compounds into alkenes, expanding the molecule’s versatility. The chapter then moves into alkylation of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and beta-dicarbonyl compounds, explaining how to introduce alkyl groups to these compounds and manipulate them for specific outcomes.

The chapter continues with reactions of the aldol and Mannich types, which are crucial in C–C bond formation. These reactions are widely used in organic synthesis to create more complex molecular structures. The section on electrophilic and nucleophilic acylation discusses the addition of acyl groups through either electrophilic or nucleophilic attack, further detailing the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Reactions of alkenes via carbenium ions follow, explaining how these reactive intermediates can facilitate transformations in alkenes. The chapter closes with discussions on transition-metal-catalyzed reactions, pericyclic reactions, and radical reactions, each offering unique methods for forming carbon-carbon bonds.

Chapter two covers oxidation and reduction, starting with epoxidation of C=C bonds, where alkenes are converted into epoxides, valuable intermediates in synthetic chemistry. The next section, dihydroxylation of C=C bonds, details how to transform alkenes into diols, an important step in many synthetic routes. Oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds is another key transformation, commonly used to convert alcohols into aldehydes or ketones. The chapter also covers the enantioselective reduction of ketones, a process that yields optically active compounds, important in the pharmaceutical industry and the synthesis of natural products. Biomimetic reductive amination describes the conversion of carbonyl compounds into amines, mimicking biological processes. The chapter ends with enantioselective Wacker oxidation, a reaction used to oxidize alkenes into carbonyl compounds.

In chapter three, the book explores heterocyclic compounds, which are molecules that contain rings made up of atoms other than carbon. The chapter begins with three- and four-membered heterocycles, then moves to five-membered heterocycles, explaining the synthesis and reactivity of these small, often highly reactive rings. Six-membered heterocycles are then discussed, followed by condensed heterocycles, which contain fused ring systems. The chapter closes with other heterocyclic systems, including heterocyclic dyes, which have applications in industries such as textiles and pharmaceuticals.

Chapter four shifts focus to selected natural products, starting with isoprenoids, a class of molecules derived from isoprene units and found in many natural products. This is followed by carbohydrates, another important class of biomolecules, along with amino acids and peptides, which are the building blocks of proteins. The chapter ends with nucleotides and oligonucleotides, the components of DNA and RNA, detailing their synthesis and role in organic chemistry.

Chapter five introduces domino reactions, a series of reactions that occur sequentially without isolating intermediates. This chapter begins by discussing the use of domino reactions in synthetic methodology, highlighting how they can streamline synthesis by reducing the need for purification steps between reactions. The chapter then covers the application of domino reactions in the synthesis of alkaloids, isoprenoids, chromans, dioxins, and chiroptical switches, demonstrating their utility in the synthesis of complex molecules.

The book concludes with an index of reactions, an index of products, and a subject index. These sections help readers quickly locate specific information, reactions, or products discussed throughout the text. Additionally, an end user license agreement outlines the terms and conditions for using the material. A list of tables provides references to key data tables scattered throughout the book, such as table 3.1 and table 3.2, making it easy for readers to access important data when needed.
