Name reactions
This page over views a number of select name reactions. There are a number of similar web sites (Links below!!) however I found most of them either lacked detail or recent examples of the advances that have engendered with each of the name reactions. In this section of the web site I have included some of the pioneer articles (as well as recent), mechanisms and some limitations and parameters of the reactions (and their modifications) themselves. It is essential for all organic chemists (and aspiring) to have a firm grasp of all the name reactions due to their ubiquitous nature in today's synthetic literature.
Other name reactions web pages:
Arkat foundation Switzerland Name Reactions
Not a broad list of reactions but the ones that are there are very detailed. The Merck Index Name Reactions
The largest list of name reactions that I have ever seen!!! Dr. Smith's (from UConn) name reactions
Some what recent journal articles....great structures Extensive list....not very detailed....but the prettiest site that I've seen for name reactions. Super quintet chemistry name reactions
More of a general orgo chem page but still has useful name reactions listed. Institute of chemistry (Skopje,Macedonia) name reactions
I believe this site is incomplete....when it is finished it should be VERY comprehensive. Site is in German but there is great information to be extracted. St. Hugh's College, University of Oxford
Some name reactions and other synthetic organic interests Organic chemistry help "common reaction mechanisms"
Frostburg state university reactions and simple mechanisms Reactive intermediates name reactions
A few organic reactions and mechanisms to boot..... CHEMPEN - Classic organic reaction
Gives a number of organic reaction references A categorization of some name reactions Site under construction Site is in german but has valuable mechanism info
