Up until a few decades ago, chalcogen chemistry was mainly represented by the chemistry of sulfur-containing compounds. However, with the rise in research around selenium and tellurium compound chemistry, the field has developed significantly as it continues to uncover and understand the peculiarities chalcogens exhibit. Taking an introductory approach, this book is the foundation to the subject that has been long needed. Covering organic and inorganic synthesis, structural properties, coordination chemistry and computational modelling, all key classes of chalcogen compounds are illustrated. Applications across materials science, biology, pharmaceutical science and environmental topics highlight to readers the impact of chalcogen chemistry in many aspects of research. Edited by international leaders in the field, Chalcogen Chemistry brings together contributions from acclaimed researchers around the world. This book is ideal for newcomers and established researchers, and provides the first building block to uncovering this fascinating field.
This book summarizes the cutting-edge experimental research on heterocyclic compounds used as anti-inflammatory agents in ten chapters. Each chapter is authored by experts in medicinal chemistry and is supplemented with scientific references for advanced reading. The book covers several types of heterocyclic compounds and their derivatives including : - pyrimidine and pyrimidinone derivatives - 1,2,3, and 1,2,4 triazoles - imidazole and benzimidazole derivatives - oxazole, oxadiazole, isoxazoline, and oxazoline derivatives - thiazole and thiazolidinone derivatives - pyrazole and pyrazoline - Carbazoles and their derivatives - azipines, quinolines, and coumarins This is a timely reference for medicinal chemists interested in developing new heterocycles for anti-inflammatory drugs. Contributors have discussed the effects of these compounds on different types of inflammation and their evolution in drug development as therapeutic agents to give a wider perspective to readers.

This book highlights the potential and scope of green chemistry for clean and sustainable development. Covering the basics, the book introduces readers to the need and the many applications and benefits and advantages of environmentally friendly chemical practice and application in industry. The book addresses such topics as ecologically safe products, catalysts and solvents, conditions needed to produce such products, types of chemical processes that are conducive to green chemistry, and much more.
Everyone is becoming more environmentally conscious and therefore, chemical processes are being developed with their environmental burden in mind. This also means that more traditional chemical methods are being replaced with new innovations and this includes new solvents. Solvents are everywhere, but how necessary are they? They are used in most areas including synthetic chemistry, analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical production and processing, the food and flavour industry and the materials and coatings sectors. However, the principles of green chemistry guide us to use less of them, or to use safer, more environmentally friendly solvents if they are essential. Therefore, we should always ...
