Enabling Tools and Techniques for Organic Synthesis: A Practical Guide to Experimentation, Automation, and Computation

Provides the practical knowledge of how new technologies impact organic  synthesis, enabling the reader to understand literature, evaluate  different techniques, and solve synthetic challenges.
In recent  years, new technologies have impacted organic chemistry to the point  that they are no longer the sole domain of dedicated specialists.  Computational chemistry, for example, can now be used by organic  chemists to help predict outcomes, understand selectivity, and decipher  mechanisms. To be prepared to solve various synthetic problems, it is  increasingly important for chemists to familiarize themselves with a  range of current and emerging tools and techniques.
Enabling Tools  and Techniques for Organic Synthesis: A Practical Guide to  Experimentation, Automation, and Computation provides a broad overview  of contemporary research and new technologies applied to organic  synthesis. Detailed chapters, written by a team of experts from academia  and industry, describe different state-of-the-art techniques such as  computer-assisted retrosynthesis, spectroscopy prediction with  computational chemistry, high throughput experimentation for reaction  screening, and optimization using Design of Experiments (DoE).  Emphasizing real-world practicality, the book includes chapters on  programming for synthetic chemists, machine learning (ML) in chemical  synthesis, concepts and applications of computational chemistry, and  more.
Highlights the most recent methods in organic synthesis and describes how to employ these techniques in a reader’s own research
Familiarizes readers with the application of computational chemistry and automation technology in organic synthesis
Introduces synthetic chemists to electrochemistry, photochemistry, and flow chemistry
Helps  readers comprehend the literature, assess the strengths and limitations  of each technique, and apply those tools to solve synthetic challenges
Provides case studies and guided examples with graphical illustrations in each chapter.
Enabling  Tools and Techniques for Organic Synthesis: A Practical Guide to  Experimentation, Automation, and Computation is an invaluable reference  for scientists needing an up-to-date introduction to new tools, graduate  students wanting to expand their organic chemistry skills, and  instructors teaching courses in advanced techniques for organic  synthesis.
