Name Reactions for the Synthetic Chemist’s Toolbox
Honoring the discoverers of groundbreaking chemical reactions, over 500 name reactions (since 1822) have been reported, ever expanding the toolbox of synthetic chemists. As name reactions are closely associated with their substrates, bond formations, reaction conditions and mechanistic details, they are used as a shorthand to convey complex information about chemical transformations.
