Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 6th Edition, provides a comprehensive reference guide for classifying, applying, and cleaving protective groups throughout complex organic syntheses. Authored by Peter G. M. Wuts, the work establishes systematic technical approaches for controlling chemical reactivity during multi-step reaction pathways.

The text details functional group protection and deprotection methodologies across key structural categories. Chapters systematically address protection for hydroxyl groups, including 12- and 13-diols, as well as phenols, catechols, carbonyl groups, and carboxyl groups. Further sections outline procedures for amino groups, thiol groups, and general protecting group formation.

This edition includes a new chapter examining how protective groups influence reactivity and selectivity within carbohydrate chemistry. The volume offers systematic guidance for complex multi-step organic synthesis.
