Summary: Some stepping stones...
Review: Organic chemistry has grown from a rather simple science the day a tetrahedral configuration was proposed for tetravalent carbon atom to the giant today, as we know it! Hundreds of chemical reactions have been published. Knowing all the names, reagents, diversities of organic reactions, is not only hard; it is impossible. More often than not, organic chemists refer themselves to certain manageable collection of common reactions in organic chemistry. This book serves that purpose.

The book is a compact collection of chemical reactions, listed in alphabetical orders by reaction names. Significant diversities of certain reactions and references for further reading are also included. While more comprehensive collections of reactions call for larger volumes of this subject, this book serves as a nice reference for advanced students and scientists in chemistry to frequently expose themselves to numerous organic reactions.
