The ultimate resource in organoboron chemistry Professor Mark Gandelman and his colleagues delve deeply into the theory, structure, analysis, synthesis, and reactions of organoboron chemistry in The Chemistry of Organoboron Compounds. Organoborons are used heavily as highly efficient reagents in many reactions, including cross-coupling and radical reactions. The highly regarded authors have tied together organic-chemical and physico-chemical knowledge usually unavailable from a single source. The book focuses on the use of completely biodegradable "green" reagents, as opposed to environmentally hazardous heavy metal catalysts. The Chemistry of Organoboron Compounds delivers comprehensive and complete information on: The behavior of organoboron compounds The use of organoboron compounds in organic synthesis The commercial applications of organoboron compounds As a volume in the celebrated Patai book series, The Chemistry of Organoboron Compounds includes all the features that readers of that series are used to enjoying, including a comprehensive index at the back of the book.
Für das Verständnis der organischen Chemie muss man wissen, worum es sich bei funktionalen Gruppen handelt. Dieses Fachbuch steht ganz in der Tradition der Reihe Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups. Jeder Band deckt sämtliche Aspekte funktionaler Gruppen ab und behandelt dabei theoretische, analytische, synthetische, biologische Aspekte sowie Belange der Industrie. Hypervalente Halogenverbindungen, insbesondere Jodverbindungen, sind überaus effiziente und selektive Oxidantien für eine Vielzahl funktionaler Gruppen. Die elektrophilen Eigenschaften dieser Reagenzien können auch für die Einführung anderer Funktionalisierungen verwendet werden. Dieser Band ist der erste in der Reihe, die die Eigenschaften und das chemische Verhalten von hypervalentem Jod und Brom, deren Einsatz in der organischen Synthese sowie deren industrielle Anwendung untersucht. Wie bei allen neuen Bänden, werden die Kapitel zunächst online in Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups veröffentlicht. Wenn ein Band online vervollständigt ist, erfolgt die Herausgabe als Printversion. Die Printfassung entspricht der Qualität, die man von der Patai-Reihe kennt, und bietet auch einen umfassenden Index.
The first book in the PATAI Series was published in 1964 and the Series will celebrate its 50th Anniversary in 2014. This "Golden Jubilee" is accompanied by the publication of the first volume on the chemistry of organogold. In the history of the PATAI Series there was, so far, no volume dedicated to gold alone. In 1999 we published a volume on The Chemistry of Gold and Silver Compounds. Since then a lot of new chemistry using gold has been developed and it is timely to focus a volume on methods and applications of organogold compounds in organic synthesis, reflecting the enormous progress which has been made in the use of gold compounds as reagents and catalysts. A second area of great importance covered in the book is the use of gold surfaces in the synthesis of peptides, proteins and other natural products. A whole range of applications in the area of biochemistry has resulted from these developments. A third area of interest is the synthesis and engineering of nanostructures, where organogold chemistry has opened the door for a wide range of methods and applications in the field of nanoscience and materials science. As with all new volumes, the chapters are first published online in Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups. Once a volume is completed online, it is then published in print format. The printed book offers the traditional quality of the Patai Book Series, complete with an extensive index.
At long last, the complete spectrum of the aldol reaction is presented here in this two-volume handbook. Top authors guarantee contributions of the highest quality, beginning with fundamentals and then moving on to enolates and catalytic aldol reactions, including the Mukaiyama Reaction. Further sections are devoted to enzymatic aldol reactions in synthesis as well as such related reactions as the Henry, Ene and Aldol-Tishchenko reactions. The wealth of information contained here allows a comprehensive overview of this important topic in organic chemistry, removing the need for the hitherto time-consuming research among the widely dispersed literature. With a foreword by Professor D. A. Evans.
Copper in organic synthesis has seen a tremendous development over the past ten years. This text represents the most comprehensive survey on the use of Copper and Cuprates in organic synthesis. The first time that the Patai Series touches on Copper compounds, it contains contributions by leading experts, and delivers the quality expected from the Patai Series.
The understanding of functional groups is key for the understanding of all organic chemistry. In the tradition of the Patai Series each volume treats all aspects of functional groups. Each volume contains chapters on the theoretical and physicochemical foundations; on analytical aspects; on reaction mechanisms; on applications in synthesis. Depending on the functional group there are additional chapters on industrial use, on medical use, and on human and environmental toxicity issues. The last volume in the series on the topic (Peroxides Vol. 2) was published in 2006. In the eight years since then a lot of developments have taken place, especially in the areas of synthesis, analysis and a better theoretical understanding of the reaction mechanism, all of which are covered here. As with all new volumes, the chapters are first published online in Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups. Once a volume is completed online, it is then published in print format. The printed book offers the traditional quality of the Patai Book Series, complete with an extensive index.
Focusing on an important class of compounds in organic synthesis, this text features contributions by leading experts, and delivers the quality expected from the “Patai Series.”
Nitrogen is unique among the non-carbon atoms in its ability to form single, double, and triple bonds with itself, giving rise to a wide range of organic-chemical groups containing several nitrogen atoms in different states and geometries. The present volume surveys the properties and chemical behaviour of all important nitrogen-rich organic-chemical groups, including azides, azimines, aziridines, diazo compounds, nitramines, nitrenes, nitrosamines, polyazine N-oxides, tetrazoles, triazanes, triazenes, and triazoles. A special focus lies on commercially important species which are used, e. g., as powerful explosives. PATAI's Chemistry of Functional Groups publishes comprehensive reviews on all aspects of specific functional groups. Each volume contains outstanding surveys on theoretical and computational aspects, NMR, MS, other spectroscopic methods and analytical chemistry, structural aspects, thermochemistry, photochemistry, synthetic approaches and strategies, synthetic uses and applications in chemical and pharmaceutical industries, biological, biochemical and environmental aspects. To date, almost 150 volumes have been published in the series.
