Acetylene chemistry : chemistry, biology, and material science

In this second, completely revised and enlarged edition, Francois Diederich is joined by Armin de Meijere in bringing together in two comprehensive volumes everything of importance related to C-C and C-N cross-coupling reactions. The range of applications covered extends from the synthesis of complex natural materials via supramolecular chemistry right up to materials science. Internationally renowned experts pass on to the reader the current level of knowledge, while critical analyses of the latest developments and applications allow users to quickly decide for themselves on which strategies are available for solving their synthesis problems. In particular the experimental guidelines for key reactions developed by the authors for the widest possible range of applications testify to the practical advantages this handbook offers every organic chemist. Here, the editors Rolf Gleiter and Henning Hopf present an excellent overview of all the important aspects and latest results in cyclophane chemistry. Clearly structured and covering the entire range, the book introduces readers to the most recent research in the field. Twenty chapters, written by well-known scientists, cover in particular: - synthesis of carbo- and heterocyclic cyclophanes and metallocenophanes, - structural and spectroscopic properties of cyclophanes, - current and future applications in synthesis and material science, - novel reactions of cyclophanes, - use of cyclophanes as building blocks in supramolecular chemistry for this fascinating class of compounds. Thus, this is not only an extremely valuable source of information for synthetic organic chemists, but also a ready reference for scientists working in related fields of arene chemistry, stereoselective synthesis, material science, and bioorganic chemistry "Acetylenes are an important and valuable class of compounds in organic synthesis. This book expands on this historically well-established concept, while incorporating the many new developments that have widened the number of applications in this field. It remains the only handbook available that embodies all the important facets of acetylene chemistry. Following the first section on synthesis, the leading authors deal with advanced materials before turning to the properties and theory of acetylenes, while a final section looks at the biological aspects. With its range of experimental procedures, this book is a practical aid for both organic and organometallic chemists, as well as for material scientists, biochemists, and industrial chemists."--BOOK JACKET

"This book presents an overview of all the important aspects and latest results in cyclophane chemistry. It is not only a valuable source of information for synthetic organic chemists, but also a ready reference for scientists working in related fields of arene chemistry, stereoselective synthesis, material science, and biorganic chemistry."--BOOK JACKET The formation of new carbon-carbon bonds (C-C bonds) and carbon-nitrogen bonds (C-N bonds) is the essence of organic synthesis. The use of metals as catalysts for these reactions leads to the so called cross-coupling reactions, which are among the most useful reactions in organic synthesis. This book talks about these reactions. V. 1. Enolates, Organocatalysis, Biocatalysis And Natural Product Synthesis -- V. 2. Metal Catalysis. Rainer Mahrwald (ed.). Foreword By D.a. Evans -- Cover.
