The Chemistry of Dienes and Polyenes, Volume 2, The Chemistry of Dienes & Polyenes V 2

This volume focuses on the chemistry of dienes and polyenes, which are an extremely important group of chemicals in the investigation of different types of syntheses based on the Diels-Adler reactions that allows for stereospecific molecules to be prepared. Dienes and polyenes are found in a large number of natural and human-made products, including such natural products as terpenes, cholesterol, Vitamin A, and many essential oils, as well as many polymers and rubber products. This volume is now available in electronic format from Books Online. "Dienes and polyenes are an extremely important group of chemicals in the investigation of different types of syntheses. Dienes and Polyenes are found in a large number of natural and man-made products including such natural products as terpenes, cholesterol, Vitamin A, and many essential oils, as well as many polymers and rubber products. In recent years the organometallic complexes of these compounds have been found to play an important role in synthesis. This volume is an invaluable reference source for researchers in academia and industry in organic and natural product chemistry and materials science. An extensive work covering all aspects of the synthetic analytical, biochemical, physical, and environmental aspects of these important molecules"--Publisher description 0000_front matter......Page 1 0001_57......Page 16 0059_196......Page 73 0197_255......Page 211 0257_328......Page 270 0329_479......Page 342 0481_544......Page 493 0545_643......Page 557 0645_691......Page 656 0693_738......Page 703 0739_884......Page 749 0885_989......Page 895 0991_1027......Page 1000 1029_1088......Page 1037 1089_1151_author index......Page 1097 1153_1168_subject index......Page 1160 1169_1170_contents of vol 1......Page 1176
