What do people say about The Chemists’ Cookbook?
“I am convinced The Chemists’ Cookbook will find resonance in the community and will surely be around for the foreseeable future for the next generation of synthetic chemists. It is a labor of love for the science of synthesis.”
“Dr. Llorens Palomo has gifted the field of organic chemistry with a resource that will stand the test of time. It is a book that should be on the desk of every chemist, whether they are beginning their journey or are well-established in the field.”
“This book is a unique combination of relevant theory and practical instructions that can be directly applied in laboratory work. The inclusion of links to contemporary articles provides a fresh perspective on scientific subjects, enabling me to broaden my understanding of each reaction and its applications. The logical organization of reactions at the end of the book makes it easy to quickly find the information I need. I recommend this book not just for researchers, but also for students, as it serves as an essential guide for improving comprehension of serious organic chemistry.”
“The most efficient way to learn something is first-hand experience. Every organic chemist has their own set of favourite reactions, which “ritual” they can almost perform with their eyes closed. Also, every chemist who needs to perform a new reaction, experiences a mixture of curiosity and scepticism towards it: is it going to work? Which functional groups are tolerated? Which additives, solvents, concentration shall I use? How many equivalents? This book, showcasing real procedures, makes even the most obscure name reactions more accessible to all chemists from different educational backgrounds. Use this book as if it was your senior colleague who knows 201 different transformations and has performed all of them, successfully.”
