Chemistry and Application in Organic Synthesis

EBook Description: When Wittig first developed and described phosphorus ylides, nobody could have imagined how useful and versatile this class of compounds could be. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date compilation of the chemistry and applications of phosphorus ylides in organic synthesis. The ylides are discussed as reagents in the synthesis of a broad range of substances, amongst them olefins, acetylenes, cyclic and heterocyclic compounds, in such naturally occurring compounds as pheromones, steroids and carotenoids, and pharmaceutically and biologically active compounds such as antibiotics and prostaglandins.

In attempting to correlate theoretical principles with industrial practice the author has not done more than to mention, in cases where it seems desirable, the fact that a given synthesis is the basis of industrial processes. No effort has been made, in most cases, to describe the technical procedure. In a few of the more common processes some description of the industrial procedure is given, but without any claim that it is exact in minute detail. It is important to mphasize
the fact, that oftentimes in industrial practice, reactions while no doubt following the course worked out in the laboratory, are nevertheless frequently shortened by doubling up or by changing physical conditions, so that the process and the laboratory synthesis seem to be quite distinct.

"Chemistry of Discotic Liquid Crystals: From Monomers to Polymers"

The self-contained properties of discotic liquid crystals (DLCs) render them powerful functional materials for many semiconducting device applications and models for energy and charge migration in self-organized dynamic functional soft materials. The past three decades have seen tremendous interest in this area, fueled primarily by the possibility of creating a new generation of organic semiconductors and wide viewing displays using DLCs. While a number of books on classical calamitic liquid crystals are available, there are, as yet, no books that are dedicated exclusively to the basic design principles, synthesis, and physical properties of DLCs.

Surface and Colloid Chemistry: Principles and Applications

Surface and colloid chemistry principles impact many aspects of our daily lives, ranging from the cleaners and cosmetics we use to combustion engines and cement. Exploring the range of this field of study, Surface and Colloid Chemistry provides a detailed analysis of its principles and applications and demonstrates how they relate to natural phenomena and industrial processes.

The Chemistry of Polymers

Chemistry of Polymers is a well established and highly readable introductory text book on polymer science, ideal for chemists requiring a broad introduction to the subject. Like its predecessors it has been written primarily from an applications point of view, emphasising practical applications and providing a comprehensive introduction on all aspects of polymer science including polymer synthesis, characterisation, reaction kinetics and materials science. Specialised topics such as polymer degradation, polymers and pollution and a variety of technological developments are also discussed in an informative and up-to-date manner.

"Soybean - Biochemistry, Chemistry and Physiology"

Soybean is an agricultural crop of tremendous economic importance. Soybean and food items derived from it form dietary components of numerous people, especially those living in the Orient. The health benefits of soybean have attracted the attention of nutritionists as well as common people.

Modern Nuclear Chemistry

Provides comprehensive information as a practical reference.
Presents fundamental physical principles, in brief, of nuclear and radiochemistry.

Uses of Inorganic Chemistry in Medicine

This comprehensive presentation on the subject of metal-based drugs investigates the chemical and biological studies on the clinically used agents of lithium, gold and platinum. It focuses not only on those clinical agents in current use but also on new drugs and uses. highlighting the research on prospective new drugs based on vanadium and manganese. The coverage allows a clear distinction between pharmacodynamic and therapeutic properties of metal-based drugs. This book fills an important niche, bridging bioinorganic and medicinal chemistry.

Uses of Inorganic Chemistry in Medicine

A text that truly embodies its name, CHEMISTRY: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE connects the chemistry students learn in the classroom (principles) with real world uses of chemistry (practice). The authors accomplish this by starting each chapter with an application drawn from a chemical field of interest and revisiting that application throughout the chapter. The Case Studies, Practice of Chemistry essays, and Ethics in Chemistry questions reinforce the connection of chemistry topics to areas such as forensics, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and industry.
