Advances in Detailed Reaction Mechanisms, Volume 4: Synthetically Useful Reactions focuses on synthetically useful reactions, including transition-metal-mediated cycloadditions, the use of organoselenium, organozinc, and metal-arene complexes. This book discusses flavonoid synthesis by cyclization of hydrochalcone. Organized into six chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the mechanistic issues related to a number of metal-mediated cycloaddition reactions that are significant in the context of organic synthesis. This text then examines the basic reaction types that generate carbon–carbon bonds. Other chapters consider enzyme and metal-ion-catalyzed isomerization of sugars. This book discusses as well the reaction patterns inherent in polyfunctional organic molecules that are associated with functional groups. The final chapter deals with the nonenzymatic and enzyme-catalyzed-scale industrial production triggered by commercial applications. This book is a valuable resource for organic synthesis chemists. Scientists and research workers who are interested in synthetically useful reactions will also find this book extremely useful.
The only book series to summarize the latest progress on organic reaction mechanisms, Organic Reaction Mechanisms, 1976 surveys the development in understanding of the main classes of organic reaction mechanisms reported in the primary scientific literature in 1976. The 12th annual volume in this highly successful series highlights mechanisms of stereo-specific reactions. Reviews are compiled by a team of experienced editors and authors, allowing advanced undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and chemists to rely on the volume's continuing quality of selection and presentation.
The first edition of this book, published in 1966, received wide acclaim. This new edition has been almost entirely rewritten and expanded to incorporate the extensive research done in this field over the last two decades. The book provides a unified treatment, from a mechanistic viewpoint, of those reactions of unsaturated organic compoiunds which, being initiated by co-ordination with an electrophilic reagent, proceed through intermediates having cationic character, and are completed by the formation of products of addition. After a brief account of the properties of carbocations, electrophilic reagents are considered in accordance with their position in the Periodic Table of the elements.
Volume 4 focuses on additions and the resulting substitutions at carbon-carbon &pgr;-bonds. Part 1 includes processes generally considered as simple polar reactions, reactive electrophiles and nucleophiles adding to alkenes and alkynes. A major topic is Michael-type addition to electron deficient &pgr;-bonds, featured in the first six chapters. In part 2 are collected the four general processes leading to nucleophilic aromatic substitution, including radical chain processes and transition metal activation through to &pgr;-complexation. Metal-activated addition (generally by nucleophiles) to alkenes and polyenes is presented in part 3, including allylic alkylation catalyzed by palladium. The coverage of nonpolar additions in part 4 includes radical additions, organometal addition (Heck reaction), carbene addition, and 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions.

International Series of Monographs in Organic Chemistry, Volume 9: The Tetracyclic Diterpenes covers the physico-chemical properties, stereochemistry, reactions, and synthesis of various tetracyclic diterpene compounds. Each chapter of this eight-chapter book describes specific tetracyclic diterpene. The opening chapters focus on the members of the kaurene-phyllocladene class, which are best known and most widely distributed of the tetracyclic diterpenes. The subsequent chapters deal with other classes, including gibberellins, the stachene class, tetracyclic diterpenes alkanoids, and aconite alkaloids. The final chapters consider the synthesis and biosynthesis of tetracyclic diterpenes. This book will prove useful to organic chemists.
This seminal series, first edited by Ernest Eliel, responsible for some of the major advances in stereochemistry and the winner of the ACS Priestley Medal in 1996, provides coverage of the major developments of the field of stereochemistry. The scope of this series is broadly defined to encompass all fields of chemical and biological sciences that are founded on molecular and supramolecular interactions. Insofar as chemical, physical, and biological properties are determined by molecular shape and structure, the importance of stereochemistry is fundamental to and consequential for all natural sciences. Topics in Stereochemistry serves as a multidisciplinary series that enriches all of chemis...
Fuel cells have been recognized to be destined to form the cornerstone of energy technologies in the twenty-first century. The rapid advances in fuel cell system development have left current information available only in scattered journals and Internet sites. Advances in Fuel Cells fills the information gap between regularly scheduled journals and university level textbooks by providing in-depth coverage over a broad scope. The present volume provides informative chapters on thermodynamic performance of fuel cells, macroscopic modeling of polymer-electrolyte membranes, the prospects for phosphonated polymers as proton-exchange fuel cell membranes, polymer electrolyte membranes for direct methanol fuel cells, materials for state of the art PEM fuel cells, and their suitability for operation above 100°C, analytical modelling of direct methanol fuel cells, and methanol reforming processes. - Includes contributions by leading experts working in both academic and industrial R&D - Disseminates the latest research discoveries - A valuable resource for senior undergraduates and graduate students, it provides in-depth coverage over a broad scope
The two-part, fifth edition of Advanced Organic Chemistry has been substantially revised and reorganized for greater clarity. The material has been updated to reflect advances in the field since the previous edition, especially in computational chemistry. Part B describes the most general and useful synthetic reactions, organized on the basis of reaction type. It can stand-alone; together, with Part A: Structure and Mechanisms, the two volumes provide a comprehensive foundation for the study in organic chemistry. Companion websites provide digital models for students and exercise solutions for instructors.
