New legislation will force synthetic chemists to design syntheses that are fast and highly selective. This book aims to show them how best to exploit the enormous synthetic potential of solid-state reactions. The text is designed as a companion to Dunitz and Buergi's "Structure Correlation". The material is presented in a coherent and didactically sound fashion, making the text useful as an introduction to the field. In addition, owing to the large number of references to the original literature, this book should be a useful reference for the practice-oriented organic chemist.
