Sometimes we even blame God for our limitations and incompetence. At such times we will forget all the good...

A carefully curated review of the scientific literature, Volume 115 of Organic Reactions presents critical discussions of widely used organic reactions or particular steps of a reaction. The material is treated from a preparative viewpoint, with emphasis on limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the selection of experimental techniques. The work includes tables that contain all possible examples of the reaction under consideration. Detailed procedures illustrate the ...

April 1861. Lieutenant Jedidiah Tremblant of the Illinois State Militia is riding the rails under orders of his governor to coordinate with the War Department in Washington, D.C.
