Carbocyclic And Heterocyclic Cage Compounds And Their Building Blocks Synthesis Structure Mechanism And Theory

Carbocyclic and Heterocyclic Cage Compounds and their Building Blocks is the first independent Supplement in the series. The collection of essays presented is very much at the forefront of research in this active area and the topics discussed complement and evolve from the more general treatment in earlier volumes of the Series. Furthermore it was appropriate to produce a collection of work at the cutting edge of the field, where progress in heterocyclic cage compounds are discussed together in a single volume, thus avoiding the organic versus organometallic barriers in an effort to raise more awareness concerning their similarities and differences. Since phosphaalkynes serve as building blocks for a host of phosphorus-carbon cage compounds discussion of the versatile chemistry of phosphaalkynes is relevant. Likewise, discussion of the versatile chemistry of phosphaalkenes is appropriate since they function as synthetic precursors to phosphaalkynes and are the products of electrophilic addition to phosphaalkynes.

The Chemistry of Cyclobutanes provides an in depth and comprehensive review of cyclobutanes and includes chapters on the theoretical and computational foundations; on analytical and spectroscopical aspects with dedicated chapters on Mass Spectrometry, NMR and IR/UV. There are also extensive application examples enabling the reader to collect both a theoretical and practical understanding. The Chemistry of Functional Groups Series was originally founded by Saul Patai (1918-1998) and in the 39 years of publishing has produced more than 100 volumes, providing outstanding reviews on all aspects of functional groups including analytical, physical and synthetic and applied chemistry. Saul Patai has been helped by outstanding editors, especially Zvi Rappoport who has now taken responsibility for the series to continue the tradition of producing high quality reviews with editors such as Y. Apeloig, I. Marek and J. Liebman.

In the course of his distinguished career spanning about half a century, George A Olah, winner of the 1994 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, has been exceedingly prolific and has published more than 1000 scientific papers and 15 books and holds more than 100 patents. This invaluable volume contains about 250 papers selected for their breadth and current importance.

Most syntheses in the chemical research laboratory fail and usually require several attempts before proceeding satisfactorily. Failed syntheses are not only discouraging and frustrating, but also cost a lot of time and money. Many failures may, however, be avoided by understanding the structure-reactivity relationship of organic compounds. This textbook highlights the competing processes and limitations of the most important reactions used in organic synthesis. By allowing chemists to quickly recognize potential problems this book will help to improve their efficiency and success-rate. A must for every graduate student but also for every chemist in industry and academia. Contents: 1 Organic Synthesis: General Remarks 2 Stereoelectronic Effects and Reactivity 3 The Stability of Organic Compounds 4 Aliphatic Nucleophilic Substitutions: Problematic Electrophiles 5 The Alkylation of Carbanions 6 The Alkylation of Heteroatoms 7 The Acylation of Heteroatoms 8 Palladium-Catalyzed C-C Bond Formation 9 Cyclizations 10 Monofunctionalization of Symmetric Difunctional Substrates

This book discusses methods for the assessment of energetic compounds through heat of detonation, detonation pressure, velocity and temperature, Gurney energy and power. The authors focus on the detonation pressure and detonation velocity of non-ideal aluminized energetic compounds. This 2nd Edition includes an updated and improved presentation of simple, reliable methods for the design, synthesis and development of novel energetic compounds.

With an enormous velocity, olefin polymerization has expanded to one of the most significant fields in polymers since the first industrial use about 50 years ago. In 2005, 100 million tons of polyolefins were produced - the biggest part was catalyzed by metallorganic compounds. The Hamburg Macromolecular Symposium 2005 with the title "Olefin Polymerization" involved topics such as new catalysts and cocatalysts, kinetics, mechanism and polymer reaction engineering, synthesis of special polymers, and characterization of polyolefins. The conference combined scientists from different disciplines to discuss latest research results of polymers and to offer each other the possibility of cooperation. This is reflected in this volume, which contains invited lectures and selected posters presented at the symposium.
