Hydroxyacetophenones constitute the starting material for a wide varietyof syntheses in organic chemistry. They are versatile building blocks servingmany different applications, such as specialty polymers, pharmaceuticals andfine chemicals. In this Handbook the diverse ways of obtaining over 3000hydroxyacetophenones are described and their physico-chemical properties andspectroscopic data references are indicated. The Handbook is presented indictionary style, with a logical classification of the ketones, making the informationeasily available for consultation.

This completely revised and enlarged edition includes:
- 10 additional chapters compared with the previous edition which had just 2chapters
- an additional 1500 ketones
- updated information for ~1200 ketone entries
- the addition of di- and polyketones
- approximately 3500 references.

This Handbook is the reference on hydroxyacetophenones. It is a powerfulsynthesis tool for the researcher or industrial producers. Nowhere else are somany compounds covered or the physical properties and relevant synthesesprovided. It provides a wide choice of hydroxyketones required to achievesyntheses based upon this range of intermediates.
