PREFACE TO THE SERIES
In the course of nearly every program ofresearch anic chemistry
the investigator finds it necessary to use several of the better-known
synthetio reactions. To discover the optimum conditions for the appli-
cation of even the most familiar one to pound not previously sub-
jected to the reaction often requires an extensive search of the litera-
ture; even then a series of experiments may be necessary. When the
results of the investigation are published, the synthesis, which may have
required months of work, is usually described ment. The
background of knowledge and experience gained in the literature search
and experimentation is thus lost to those who subsequently have occa-
sion to apply the general method. The student of anic
chemistry faces similar difficulties. The textbooks and laboratory man-
uals furnish numerous examples of the application of various syntheses,
but only rarely do they convey an accurate conception of the scope and
usefulness of the processes.
For many years anic chemists have discussed these prob-
lems. The plan piling critical discussions of the more important
reactions thus was evolved. The volumes anic Reactions are collec-
tions of about twelve chapters, each devoted to a single reaction, or a
definite phase of a reaction, of
