Nitrogen Oxygen And Sulfur Ylide Chemistry

Chemists from Europe, North America, Japan, and India not only describe the chemistry of the three reactive intermediates relevant to their use in synthesizing complex organic compounds, they also provide detailed protocols of methods for generating and using them in reactions. About a third of the book is devoted to nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur ylides. The rest ammonium, oxonium, and sulfonium; azomethine, carbonyl, and thiocarbonyl; and nitrile flavors.

Kurti and Czako have produced an indispensable tool for specialists and non-specialists in organic chemistry. This innovative reference work includes 250 organic reactions and their strategic use in the synthesis of complex natural and unnatural products. Reactions are thoroughly discussed in a convenient, two-page layout--using full color. Its comprehensive coverage, superb organization, quality of presentation, and wealth of references, make this a necessity for every organic chemist. * The first reference work on named reactions to present colored schemes for easier understanding* 250 frequently used named reactions are presented in a convenient two-page layout with numerous examples* An opening list of abbreviations includes both structures and chemical names * Contains more than 10,000 references grouped by seminal papers, reviews, modifications, and theoretical works * Appendices list reactions in order of discovery, group by contemporary usage, and provide additional study tools* Extensive index quickly locates information using words found in text and drawings

In this first book to gather the information on this hot topic otherwise widely spread throughout the literature, experienced editors and top international authors cover everything the reader needs -- from the synthesis of chiral organosulfur compounds to applications and catalysis: * Asymmetric synthesis of chiral sulfinates and sulfoxides * Synthesis and use of chiral dithioacetal derivatives, ylids, chiral sulfoximines and sulfinamides * Use of chiral sulfoxides as ligands in catalysis * Asymmetric reactions of alpha-sulfenyl, alpha-sulfinyl and alpha-sulfonyl carbanions. As a result, readers will be able to improve their own performance in asymmetric synthesis.

Contains contributions from leading authorities in the field of organometallic chemistry Covers topics in organometallic synthesis, reactions, mechanisms, homogeneous catalysis, and more Informs and updates readers on the latest developments in the field Carefully edited to provide easy-to-read material

In the vast landscape of organic chemistry, sulfur-containing compounds play a pivotal role in pharmaceuticals, industrial processes, and a wide range of chemical transformations, where they often enable selective and otherwise challenging functionalization reactions. This primer aims not only to elucidate the fundamental characteristics of sulfoxides and sulfur ylides but also to address key challenges encountered in their chemistry. By examining the influence of molecular structure on reactivity, the authors uncover valuable insights that underpin the utilization of these compounds. The Versatile Organic Chemistry of Sulfur(IV) is conceived as a precursor to our more extensive review, tailored to provide foundational knowledge for readers seeking entry into the more specialized material presented therein. The authors‘ goal for this primer is to equip both novices and seasoned practitioners with an understanding that transcends theoretical concepts, fostering an environment ripe for exploration and innovation.

Heterocyclic chemistry is the biggest branch of chemistry covering two-thirds of the chemical literature. This series covers hot topics of frontier research summarized by reputed scientists in the field.

The first edition of Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry was published in 1990 and was very well received. Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry II is much more than a simple updating of the contents of the first edition. Completely revised and expanded, this new edition has been refocused to reflect the significant developments and changes over the past decade in genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, combinatorial chemistry, high-throughput screening and pharmacology, and more. The content comprises the most up-to-date, authoritative and comprehensive reference text on contemporary medicinal chemistry and drug research, covering major therapeutic classes and targets, research strategy and organisation, high-throughput technologies, computer-assisted design, ADME and selected case histories. It is this coverage of the strategy, technologies, principles and applications of medicinal chemistry in a single work that will make Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry II a unique work of reference and a single point of entry to the literature for pharmaceutical and biotechnology scientists of all disciplines and for many industry executives as well. Also available online via ScienceDirect (2006) - featuring extensive browsing, searching, and internal cross-referencing between articles in the work, plus dynamic linking to journal articles and abstract databases, making navigation flexible and easy.
