Product Description: Drug Synthesis Book Set

This book differs from others on name reactions in organic chemistry by focusing on their mechanisms. It covers over 300 classical as well as contemporary name reactions. Biographical sketches for the chemists who discovered or developed those name reactions have been included. Each reaction is delineated by its detailed step-by-step, electron-pushing mechanism, supplemented with the original and the latest references, especially review articles. This book contains major improvements over the previous edition and the subject index is significantly expanded.

After an inordinately long induction period, organopalladium chemistry has finally been embraced by synthetic organic chemists. Currently, it is being utilized across the spectrum of organic synthesis, from applications to complex natural product syntheses to the synthesis of polymers. A substantial portion of organopalladium methodology has been developed in the context of heterocyclic chemistry and applications to heterocyclic syntheses abound. In this new book, Jack Li and Gordon Gribble have compiled an array of referenced examples of the use of palladium in heterocyclic chemistry. The book is organized by class of heterocycle (pyrroles, indoles, pyridines, etc.) and each chapter contains the syntheses of heterocyclic precursors, as well as details of uses of palladium to both synthesize and functionalize these heterocyclic systems.
