Kohlenstoff und Wasserstoff - jedem Chemiestudenten sind sie wohlbekannt als Grundbausteine der Organischen Chemie. Welch ungeahnte Vielfalt von Verbindungen sich aus diesen Elementen aufbauen läßt, zeigt dieses einzigartige Buch. Dabei beschränkt es sich nicht nur auf die bloße Darstellung von Struktur und Eigenschaften von Kohlenwasserstoffen, sondern verdeutlicht überdies die Herausforderung, die Moleküle wie Tetrahedran, Superphan oder Dodecahedran an das synthetische Geschick eines jeden Organikers stellen. In seinem Konzept folgt das Werk - retrosynthetische Analyse der Reaktionssequenzen, ausführliche Erläuterung der Synthesemethoden, umfassende Verweise auf die Originalliteratur - dem Bestseller von K. C. Nicolaou und E. J. Sorensen "Classics in Total Synthesis". Es vermittelt so eine Fülle von generellen Prinzipien und Methoden der organischen Synthese und empfiehlt sich auf Jahre hinaus als Standardwerk, das jedem Studenten und Organiker in Forschung und Lehre geläufig sein sollte.

Literature Prize for Henning Hopf:

Henning Hopf, Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Technische Universitaet Braunschweig (Germany), was recently awarded the German Chemical Industry Society's (VCI) Literature Prize 2001 for his monograph Classics in Hydrocarbon Chemistry: Syntheses, Concepts, Perspectives. VCI President Manfred Schneider emphasized the powerful synthetic methods as well as the clear concept and style of the book.
