The Organic Chemistry of Drug
Synthesis, Volume 6 covers the literature on the synthesis of
medicinal agents from 1994 to 1998. This well-received series meets the needs of practitioners in the field who seek a quick overview of the synthetic routes that have been used to access specific classes of therapeutic agents. While most books on medicinal chemistry are organized on the basis of therapeutic or biochemical classes, materials in this series are arranged and discussed in terms of
chemical structure. Thus, the preparation and detailed organic chemistry of the classes are presented in a unified way. Only drugs that have been granted a U.S. Adopted Name are included in this series.
