SUMMARY

VOLUME 1- Hydroxybenzophenones are useful synthetic intermediates in chemical industry, for example in pharmaceuticals, dyes, fragrances, agrochemicals, explosives and plastics. In this handbook, the diverse ways of obtaining over 1900 hydroxybenzophenones are described, and their physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic data references are indicated. Hence, ketones are classified methodically. They are thus easily accessible from three tables: the molecular formula index, the chemical abstracts registry numbers and the usual names index. This handbook includes 1475 references. This work will prove to be a valuable tool for laboratory work and research and development departments. It is set to become the reference on hydroxybenzophenones.This handbook is particularly intended for academic or industrial organic chemists.

VOLUMES 2 and 3 -Hydroxyacetophenones are the starting material for a wide variety of syntheses in organic chemistry. Hydroxyacetophenones are versatile building blocks serving many different applications, such as pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals and polymers. In this handbook, the diverse methods of obtaining over 3000 hydroxyacetophenones are described and their physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic data references are indicated. The handbook is presented in dictionary style, with a logical classification of the ketones, making the information easily available for consultation. Ketones are classified methodically. They are thus easily accessible from three tables: the molecular formula index, the chemical abstracts registry and the usual names index. This completely revised and enlarged edition includes 3541 references. It is a powerful synthesis tool for researchers or industrial producers. Nowhere else are so many compounds covered or the physical properties and relevant syntheses provided.

VOLUME 4 - Hydroxypropiophenones, Homologous and Methyl ethers are the starting material for a wide variety of syntheses in organic chemistry. They are versatile building blocks serving many different applications: pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals and polymers. In this Handbook the diverse ways of obtaining over 1419 ketones are described and their physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic data references are indicated. Some uses of these ketones are mentioned. The Handbook is presented in dictionary style, with a logical classification of the ketones, making the information easily available for consultation. Ketones are easily accessible from three tables: the molecular formula index, the chemical abstracts registry and the usual names index. This handbook includes 2126 references. This Handbook is the reference on hydroxypropiophenones, hydroxyisobutyrophenones, hydroxypivalophenones and their methyl ethers. It is a powerful synthesis tool for researchers or industrial producers. Provides complete coverage of the physical properties and relevant syntheses.
