| Summary: | Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations (COFGT) aims to present the vast subject of organic synthesis in terms of the introduction and interconversion of functional groups. All organic structures can be considered as skeletal frameworks of carbon atoms to which functional groups are attached; it is the latter which are mainly responsible for chemical reactivity and which are highlighted in COFGT. All known functional groups fit a logical and comprehensive pattern and this forms the basis for the detailed list of contents. The format of the present work was designed with the intention to cover systematically all the possible arrangements of atoms around a carbon, including those which are quite unfamiliar. The work also considers the possibility of as yet unknown functional groups which may be constructed in the future and prove to be important; thus COFGT also indicates what is not known and so points the way to new research areas. |
