Organic Electrochemistry Book Suggestions?

smaerd - 25-11-2012 at 07:48

I'm looking for a recent comprehensive book on electro-organic synthesis. Including theory as well as known reactions and examples. I realize that the subject matter isn't really as finite as classical organic chemistry, and have found and read bits and pieces of a few e-books. It seems like there is big potential in heterocycle synthesis and it opens up new door-way's for many complex molecules. Anyways, I'm looking for a sort of 'bible' and figured if anyone would know it would be science-madness.

Here's what I'm currently looking at:
Organic Electrochemistry 5th edition
by Hammerich
http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Electrochemistry-Fifth-Ole-Ham...

Or maybe something a bit more affordable.
Thanks for any advice.

Perhaps not the tome you're seeking, but I have a copy of <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Electrooxidation-Organic-Chemistry-Synthetic-Intermediates/dp/0894645781/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1353865075 &sr=1-1&keywords=electrooxidation+in+organic+chemistry" target="_blank">Electrooxidation in Organic Chemistry</a></em> by Yoshida (Wiley, 1984). Haven't read it yet, but it looked interesting when I paged through. Just another title to consider, I suppose. I'll try to type out the table of contents for you (please forgive typographic errors):

Nice suggestion.

I think I'll go for a 4th edition used copy of "Organic Electrochemistry"
(it's available on scribed)
http://www.scribd.com/doc/34819523/Organic-Electrochemistry

Seems to go from intense theory and derivations to the more practical things such as solvent, electrolyte, and cell selection. With tons of tables of values for compounds, hundreds of examples of reactions and thousands of references(probably one of the most important things to a good guide). This is definitely the book it seems.

As much as I love having access to internet copies of books I just can't read them like normal books. Not sure why that is, but hard-copies are always so much better.

edit
Oh and that book smell article was great. Reminds me of the GC-O(lfactory) analysis that are being done these days. Such a weird concept.

I had no idea how many cyclization reactions there were in electro-chemistry. In some cases it makes traditional organic chemistry look out-dated, granted it is a very specific synthetic tool. The cathodic cyclizations are a particular interest. Pretty surprised these techniques haven't caught on all that much in industry.
