This book is absolutely essential for the organic chemist. Well organized by functional group to be protected and well indexed to allow searches by protection group, this book has it all. If you have a question about how to protect a particular functional group, this is the book for it. Under each section a plethora of references may be found--with each one succinctly summarized to avoid looking for references that have nothing to do with what you want. This book is essential whether you are a graduate student studying what reactions you need to know to do the research assigned you or a professor writing research proposals (indeed, I bought my own copy of this book from Amazon because the ones in our school library were always checked out to one of the professors). In summary, it is an excellent reference text that should be on every organic chemist's desk.

If you are a graduate student in organic chemistry then this book is a must. It will help with class work as well as your lab work. This book is the authority on protective groups and is an essential reference.

Like every other edition of Greene's Protective Groups, this updated version is concise with reliable references and schematics. All researchers need this book.

This book contains methods for the installation and removal of practically every protecting group you can think of, and likely some you've never encountered. Most methods are referenced to articles containing representative procedures, saving valuable time scouring the literature. It is compact, well-organized and reasonably priced. Along with March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, this book is a must have for any organic chemist.

Quite possibly the most important protecting group book published. The new edition is out and is even more extensive and completely up to date. However, "Greene and Wuts" is a bible in the laboratory. Many of you who will read this have probably scrambled for your copy of "Greene," as it is affectionately known, when designing a synthesis. Also check out Kocienski's protecting group book and his extensive reviews if you do not know about them.

The most comprehensive text on protecting groups there is. Much better than "Protecting Groups" by Phillip J. Kocienski

There are other protecting group books out there but I found this one to be the most comprehensive and easy to use.

Peter's book is an excellent and essential handbook for all organic chemists. Everyone should have one in hand.

If you're a synthetic chemist, you know you need this book.
It's well organised by functional group, though I could quibble with details as to orthogonal stability.

The basic information is there, and is certainly helpful if you're supervisors are chemistry illiterate and refuse to give you carte blanche access to the literature.

if you are synthetic chemist you ought to have this book with you
