Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds: Oxazoles, Volume 45

A reference that describes all of the important syntheses and reactions of oxazoles and oxazolones published through the first quarter of l984. Emphasizes the use of oxazoles as synthetic reagents as well as presenting the more classical treatments of oxazole chemistry. Contains the only extensive list of tables of oxazole derivatives and the most complete list of spectroscopic properties of oxazoles. Offers the most detailed treatment of mesoionic oxazoles including syntheses, specroscopy and reactions.Content: Chapter 1 Oxazoles (pages 1–341): Ignatius J. Turchi Chapter 2 Spectroscopic Properties of Oxazoles (pages 343–360): Cynthia A. Maryanoff Chapter 3 Oxazolones (pages 361–729): Y. Shyamsunder Rao and Robert Filler Chapter 4 Mesoionic Oxazoles (pages 731–961): Henry L. Gingrich and Jonathan S. Baum Chapter 5 Oxazoles and Oxazolines in Organic Synthesis (pages 963–1017): Bruce E. Maryanoff Oxazoles / Ignatius J. Turchi -- Spectroscopic Properties Of Oxazoles / Cynthia A. Maryanoff -- Oxazolones / Y. Shyamsunder Rao And Robert Filler -- Mesoionic Oxazoles / Henry L. Gingrich And Jonathan S. Baum -- Oxazoles And Oxazolines In Organic Synthesis / Bruce E. Maryanoff. Edited By I.j. Turchi. An Interscience Publication. Includes Bibliographies And Indexes. This volume describes in detail all of the important syntheses and reactions of oxazoles and oxazolones published through the first quarter of 1984. A section involving the use of oxazoles in synthesis will be of interest to most organic chemists.
