Product Description: As nucleophiles, simple alkenes are typically so unreactive that only highly active electrophiles, such as carbocations, peroxides, and halogens will react with them. For the generation of carbon-carbon bonds, milder methods will often be required...read more

Product Description: Materials in the form of ultrafine or nanosized powders display many useful physical, mechanical and chemical properties. The properties of nano-scaled materials are significantly different from atoms and bulks materials arise mainly from large fraction of surface atoms, high surface energy and reduced imperfections...read more

Product Description: Forging a new association; main group elements and organic chemistry Covering the essentials of all main group elements in organic chemistry, along with the synthesis and reactions of their organic compounds in just one volume, Organo Main Group Chemistry breaks important new ground...read more

Product Description: K.C. Nicolaou - Winner of the Nemitsas Prize 2014 in Chemistry Retaining his excellent, proven approach, world-famous chemist and passionate teacher K.C. Nicolaou compiles here the important strategies and tools employed to construct complex molecules...read more

Product Description: While continuous processes have found widespread application within chemical production, members of the research and development communities have historically favored the centuries old technique of iterative batch reactions. With the exception of combinatorial and microwave chemistry, little had been done to change the way that synthetic chemists conduct their research...read more

How to succeed with enzymes in organic synthesis Comprehensive in coverage, this handbook provides a thorough understanding of enzyme-catalyzed organic transformations. Using it, readers can easily apply the principles of enzyme catalysis to new chemical reactions. All techniques described are directly transferable to applications, from laboratory to industrial scale. Benefits for the user: * synthetic applications organized according to reaction type * tabular survey of all commercially available enzymes * two indexes offering easy access to enzymes, compounds, and reaction types * the latest synthetic methods, including use of catalytic antibodies and protein engineering

Product Description: Unique in its focus on preparative impact rather than mechanistic details, this handbook provides an overview of photochemical reactions classed according to the structural feature that is built in the photochemical step, so as to facilitate use by synthetic chemists unfamiliar with this topic...read more

The Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods series facilitates the working chemist's search for the most useful functional group transformations in organic chemistry. Drawn from an exhaustive survey of the literature, Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Volume 12 contains both functional group transformations and carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. Author Michael Smith adheres to stringent criteria for listing reactions, including real synthetic utility and reagents that are either readily available or easily prepared and handled in the laboratory. A clear organizational scheme-chemical transformations classified first by reacting functional group of starting material, then by functional group formed-allows for quick reference and information retrieval. Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Volume 12 provides an unparalleled source of information on the methods, reactions, and transformations in contemporary organic chemistry for the working chemist and student alike.

Product Description: Here, leading contributors from the forefront of this exciting technology present authoritative and timely reviews on the state of the art of biocatalysis. They cover the whole spectrum from the discovery of novel enzymes - by modern screening, evolutionary or immunological approaches - through immobilization techniques for technical processes, to their use in the asymmetric synthesis of important target compounds...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

This encyclopedic and systematic collection of useful synthetic methodology contains almost 15,000 reactions and over 23,000 references. It represents the most complete sourcebook of organic reactions and functional group preparations available. The criteria for inclusion are that yields should be at least 50 %, that the reaction should be either general in scope or so unique that the methodology will find real synthetic utility, and that the agents should be readily available or easily prepared and handled in the laboratory. Similar transformations are grouped together whenever possible. The literature coverage is complete through 1987 and considers over 160 primary chemical journals as well as a number of books and reviews. Extensive indexes enable the user to access quickly the information needed either from the starting material or product.
