The up-to-DATE guide to name reactions in heterocyclic chemistry
Name Reactions in Heterocyclic Chemistry II presents a comprehensive treatise on name reactions in heterocyclic chemistry, one of the most excitingand importantfields within organic chemistry today.
The book not only covers fresh ground, but also provides extensive information on new and/or expanded reactions in:
Three- and four-membered heterocycles
Five-membered heterocycles (pyrroles and pyrrolidines, indoles, furans, thiophenes, and oxazoles)
Six-membered heterocycles, including pyridines, quinolines, and isoquinolines
Featuring contributions from the leading authorities in heterocyclic chemistry. Each section includes a description of the given reaction, as well as the relevant historical perspective, mechanism, variations and improvements, synthetic utilities, experimental details, and references to the current primary literature.
The reactions covered in Name Reactions in Heterocyclic Chemistry have been widely adopted in all areas of organic synthesis, from the medicinal/pharmaceutical field, to agriculture, to fine chemicals, and the book brings the most cutting-edge knowledge to practicing synthetic chemists and students, along with the tools needed to synthesize new and useful molecules.
Synopsis
Co-authored by Nobel Laureatte, E.J. Corey, this book builds on the first volume on this topic by presenting a comprehensive treatise on name reactions in heterocyclic chemistry. Primary topics include updates to the first volume on the new and/or expanded reactions in three and four-membered heterocycles, five-membered heterocycles, six-membered heterocycles. Each section includes a description of the reaction, the historical perspective, a mechanism for the reaction, variations and improvements on the reaction, synthetic utilities of the reaction, experimental details, and references to the current primary literature.
