Summary
"Protecting Group Chemistry provides an overview of methods that allow specific sites within an organic molecule to be manipulated without affecting other sites. The book emphasises the link between the mechanisms of organic chemistry and the choice of specific protecting groups that block chemical reactivity at those sites that must remain unaffected. The book will be of interest to both undergraduates and postgraduates in chemistry."--BOOK JACKET
