The Handbook of Organic Analytical Reagents, 2nd Edition, is an indispensable source book of physico-chemical properties, preparation, and analytical applications of the most commonly used organic reagents. Updated from the 1st Edition, this volume includes data on 40 new reagents (such as ultra-high sensitive azo dyes, fluorescent calcium indicators, and chromogenic crown ethers and porphyrin reagents), a new Reagent Index listing reagents according to the elements to be assayed, and completely updated references. Each entry contains information on synonyms, sources and methods of synthesis, analytical applications, complexation reactions and the properties of complexes, purification and purity of the reagent, and other regeants with a related structure. The Handbook of Organic Analytical Reagents, 2nd Edition, is an invaluable bench-side reference for professional analytical chemists and graduate students.
At last, the long anticipated second edition of the highly successful Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis (EROS) is publishing in print in March 2009. With its wealth of valuable information, excellent editorial leadership and methodical classification, EROS has become the authoritative reference source on reagents and catalysts. This makes EROS vital reading for everybody working in organic synthesis. It has wide appeal, with relevance not only to Organic Chemists, but also to Inorganic, Physical and Analytical Chemists, Materials Scientists, Chemical Engineers, Biochemists, Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemists and Pharmacologists. In short, it is an essential product for all academic and industrial chemistry laboratories and libraries. COMPREHENSIVE With its 50,000 reactions and 4,111 reagents, Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis offers readers a substantial wealth of information. Each entry contains, where available: CAS numbers InChI and InChIKeys Alternative names and structures Details on availability and physical properties, including solubility, form in which it’s supplied, purification methods, form obtainable in purification and preparation methods Extensive reviews Examples of transformations for each reagent with reaction schemes Comparison of one agent’s specific properties with those of others capable of equivalent chemistry, together with reaction schemes Stereo-, regio-, and enantio-control properties Required precautions for working with the reagent The various uses and characteristics of each reagent with illustrative examples Related literature METHODICAL Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis has been designed and developed by chemists for chemists. It makes it as easy as possible for users to find the most suitable reagents for performing particular reactions. Reagents are arranged in A to Z format while each reagent entry is presented in a uniform style so that the user is provided with a recognizable format and structure. New in the second edition of Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis: Over 1,000 new reagents Over 620 updated reagents retaining the original text and references whilst adding additional up-to-date information New types of reagents and catalysts In addition to CAS numbers each article now also includes InChI and InChIKeys A standard citation style in the reference list for each reagent An author index
This book aims to stimulate and promote the wide-ranging aspects of green chemistry and its major role in ensuring sustainable development. The book covers the following areas: green chemistry; green reagents and atom economy; safeguarding the atmosphere; industrial green catalysis; alternative reaction conditions; biocatalysis and green chemistry. This book is based on the third edition of the Collection of Lectures of the Summer Schools on Green Chemistry held in Venice, Italy in the summers of 1998-2003 (sponsored by the European Commission, TMR and Improving Programmes and carried out by the Consortzio Interuniversitario La Chemica per l'Ambiente).
Advanced Organic Synthesis: Methods and Techniques presents a survey and systematic introduction to the modern techniques of organic synthesis. The book attempts to acquaint the reader with a variety of laboratory techniques as well as introduce chemical reagents that require deftness and care in handling. Chapters are devoted that discuss the techniques of organic synthesis; apparatus and terminology used in the description of synthetic procedures; the scope and mechanism of chemical reactions; and technical procedures on how to perform chemical experiments. The text will be of vital importance to advanced undergraduate student or beginning graduate student of chemistry.
International Series of Monographs in Analytical Chemistry, Volume 54: Organic Reagents in Metal Analysis focuses on the factors determining the analytical selectivity of complexation reactions. This book consists of three chapters. Chapter 1 deals with the effects of stability and electronic structure of complexes and formation of mixed ligand complexes on analytical selectivity. The analytical procedures for the accomplishment of many metal analytical tasks are reviewed in Chapter 2. The last chapter provides a tabulated data that facilitates experimental work in the field of metal analysis. This volume is useful to practical analysts and researchers engaged with developments in the field of analytical chemistry and routine metal analyses.
The explosive growth of organoselenium chemistry over the past 12 years can be attributed to the specific properties of organic selenium molecules, which fit the requirements of modern organic synthesis. Most of them are well adapted to chemo-, regio- and stereo-selectivities. In addition, they can be used in mild experimental conditions which are compatible with the stability of both substrates and products in the preparation of unsaturated and functional complex molecules, especially in the field of natural products. This book describes and illustrates different synthetic routes to organic structures using selenium reagents or intermediates. The approach emphasizes that such transformations are simple, efficient and often carried out at room temperature. The scope ranges from the preparation of both inorganic and organic selenium reagents, through descriptions of structure, toxicity, biological aspects and nuclear magnetic resonance, to applications of specific selenium compounds in various syntheses including natural products and biologically active compounds.
