Science of Synthesis - Houben-Weyl methods of molecular transformations - v. 28 Quinones and Heteroatom Analogues [pdf 934sc 899c. 9.21mb] New edition of the acclaimed reference series, Houben-Weyl. This new ed. is published in English and is available in both print and electronic formats. Clear and systematic, Science of Synthesis provides practical solutions and offers a route through the mass of information available in the primary literature. This one-stop reference tool is: Comprehensive: contains synthetic models selected by world-renowned experts, with full experimental procedures and background information. Reliable: the international editorial board is made up of distinguished chemists with unparalleled experience and competence. Logical and easy-to-navigate: information is organized in a hierarchical system based on the compound or functional group to be synthesized. Authoritative: critically evaluates the preparative applicability and significance of the synthetic methods. Wide-ranging: considers methods from journals, books, and patent literature from the early 1800s up to the present day and presents important synthetic methods for all classes of compounds This volume covers modern synthetic methods to quinones and their heteroatom analogues. Quinones constitute a large and important class of organic compounds that show rich and fascinating chemistry. These structures are common constituents of biologically relevant molecules often serving as electron acceptors in electron transport chains, thus playing a vital role in electron transport in the respiratory and photosynthetic elements as well as a number of redox processes in nature.
