The great diversity of substrates, reaction types, and products presented in this volume is both astonishing and thought-provoking. There are numerous examples that appear to be ideal for introducing both undergraduate and graduate students to the field. Reading all or part of this volume, one would be hard-pressed to avoid coming away with interesting potential applications to one's own research efforts, particularly in the areas of heterocyclic synthesis, asymmetric synthesis, and green chemistry.
