Dictionary Of Organophosphorus Compounds

Containing chemical, physical and structural data on 45,000 organometallics, this new edition of Dictionary of Organometallic Compounds is completely reviews and expanded. All compounds from the first edition have been reviewed, new references from the recent chemical literature have been added. Interesting new compounds, which have appeared in the literature from 1985 to 1993, have also been incorporated. A unique new feature is the Index of Synthetic Reagents, which groups compounds according to their use in synthetic organic chemistry. Compounds included: - organometallics representing all important structural types - compounds with an established use, such as orignard reagents, catalysts, starting materials, laboratory chemicals Type of information included: - accurate systematic chemical names, tradenames, trivial names - CAS Registry numbers - molecular formulae and weights - details on synthesis/preparation - uses in synthetic organic chemistry - physical data including melting/boiling points, solubility, magnetic susceptibility - concise bibliography

Organophosphorus Chemistry: A Practical Approach in Chemistry provides a practical introduction to the field by mixing a brief review of the subject area with key experimental details and sample procedures. Phosphorus is an element that has been central to the development of our modern way of life. Its chemistry plays a key role in the development of such important areas as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, modern materials and molecular biology. Much of this work requires a sound understanding of the organic chemistry of phosphorus and this volume is designed to instruct the reader in the essential methodology used. Topics covered include phosphines, applications of phosphorus (III) and (V) compounds as reagents in synthesis, the chemistry of phosphorus ylides, applications of the Wittig reaction in the synthesis of heterocyclic and carbocyclic compounds, preparation of Iminophosphoranes and their synthetic applications in the aza-Wittig reaction, phospho-transfer processes leading to [P-C] bond formation, low valent phosphorus compounds and phosphorus methods in oligonucleotide chemistry. It is intended not only for the specialist in organophosphorus chemistry, but also for the organic chemist with little experience in the field who wishes to add phophorus-based techniques to his or her ensemble of synthetic methods.

A team of editors have selected important and interesting compounds which have appeared in the literature since publication of volume 8. Volume 9 contains approximately 1200 compounds which are mostly new entries, plus a selection of data on compounds already listed in volumes 1-8. This represents literature coverage to mid-1995 and extends the range of the "Dictionary of Inorganic Compounds" to over 50,000 compounds.
