The highly successful Fieser and Fieser series has provided several generations of professional chemists and students with an up-to-date survey of the reagent literature. Covering the literature from 2001-2002, Fiesers' Reagents for Organic Synthesis Volume 23 lists reagents in alphabetical order by common name and features brief entries which explain how to make it or buy it, what it is good for, and where to find complete details.
