Side reactions...

Hi,

I am currently working on a project which is associated with side
reactions involved in a main reaction (both named and un-named
reactions).
The project mainly focuses on
- the possible side reactions as well as products
- which groups should be avoided in a chemical reaction to stop side
reactions.

Could you please help me with possible web sources for this.

Thanks...

This is far too broad a subject to do using web sites. You need a good
library, online search capability, and a thorough training in
chemistry for this. Probably also some bench time.

A telephone won't hurt either. A lot of info on side reactions is
never published and you may have to contact people directly. Don't
worry. I don't know anyone who doesn't like to talk about their work.

Your Q is extremely vague. The primary literature is FULL of
side reactions, usually buried in the text of the main work.
There are a bunch of classic examples of side reactions that
become key transformations.

What, exactly, are your named reactions? Un-named reactions?
You might be re-discovering the broken wheel. (There are many
"Anomalous X" variations of the "X" reaction.

In the meantime:
