Publisher's Synopsis
This is the first title to be published in the new "Updates from the Chemistry of Functional Groups" series. These Updates will be based on selected chapters from the volumes of "The Chemistry of Functional Groups" series, making important chapters available to the individual. The selected chapters will be taken as they stand in the original volume and updated in an appendix appearing at the end of the text. In some cases, completely new material will be incorporated to improve the coverage of the particular topic. This volume is based on the original Supplement D, "The Chemistry of Halides, Pseudo-Halides and Azides". The Updates are designed for students, researchers and professional workers in industry and at academic institutions where organic synthesis and mechanistic organic chemistry is actively practised.
