[PDF] Sulphinic Acids, Esters and Derivatives (1990)

The format follows that of the other volumes in the Chemistry of Functional Groups series; commissioned chapters address theoretical, structural, and stereochemical aspects before considering more specialized topics in synthesis, photochemistry, spectroscopy, and biochemistry. Includes full reaction details and extensive references.
