Hello all,

I was wondering if any one could tell me where to find a list of common reagents and catalyst for. eg AlCl3 is catalyst for choice in Friedel-Craft's reaction, also raney nickel is reducing agent, Zn/HCl - reducing agent, CrO3 are oxidizing agents etc .

A list with reagent/ catalyst and their uses (no need for methods on how they are prepared and stuff).

Any help will be highly appreciated

In the old days, we used Fieser and Fieser. Your library probably still has copies of this series.
