As phenols represent an important functional group category, TheChemistry of Phenols is an essential addition to any chemistrylibrary.Written by experts, all aspects concerning these compounds arecovered making this an essential reference book, bringing togetherinvaluable information into one source for organic, organometallicchemists as well as chemists from a variety of other organicsub-disciplines.Single Source information - essential for organic,organometallic and chemists from organic sub-disciplinesCovers phenols as anti-oxidants, synthetic intermediates,polymers and hydrogen bondsDiscusses electrophilic and photochemical reactionsThe Patai Series publishes comprehensive reviews on allaspects of specific functional groups. Each volume containsoutstanding surveys on theoretical and computational aspects, NMR,MS, other spectroscopic methods and analytical chemistry,structural aspects, thermochemistry, photochemistry, syntheticapproaches and strategies, synthetic uses and applications inchemical and pharmaceutical industries, biological, biochemical andenvironmental aspects.To date, over 100 volumes have been published in the series.Also Available OnlineThe Chemistry of Phenols as well as the other titles within thePatai Series is also available in electronic format on WileyInterScience. All new titles will be published online and a growinglist of older titles will be added every year.
