Solvents and Solvent Effects in Organic Chemistry Christian Reichardt From reviews of the first edition: This monograph can be recommended as a standard work to everyone who wants to be fully informed on the current knowledge of solvent effects in organic chemistry. It will be used successfully in research and industry to find the optimal reaction medium in the planning of a synthesis. Journal f?r praktische Chemie This is an extremely useful book which is well referenced (Chapter 5 alone lists 451 references) and it should find a place in the library of every practicing chemist who has occasion to call upon solvents to facilitate his reactions. Within hours of the book’s arrival on my desk it had been confiscated by two of my students who have found it extremely useful. Journal of the American Chemical Society
