Written for both the experienced practitioner and the newcomer, this book provides essential guidance to the practical aspects of free radical chain reactions. The book presents tried and tested synthetic schemes as well as a selection of recently developed methods describing rationally designed, highly efficient syntheses giving high yield interconversions of functional groups and carbon*b1carbon bond formation under mild, neutral conditions.Written by two experienced practitioners in the field, this volume explodes the myth that free radicals are highly reactive, non-selective intermediates.- Contains an extensive introduction discussing principles, advantages, and disadvantages of radical chain reactions- Demonstrates functional group interconversions by radical chain reactions- Lists carbon*b1carbon bond formations- Presents inter- and intramolecular radical chain reactions- Includes many examples and experimental details selected by experienced practitioners in this field

At last, the long anticipated second edition of the highly successful Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis (EROS) is publishing in print in March 2009. With its wealth of valuable information, excellent editorial leadership and methodical classification, EROS has become the authoritative reference source on reagents and catalysts.This makes EROS vital reading for everybody working in organic synthesis. It has wide appeal, with relevance not only to Organic Chemists, but also to Inorganic, Physical and Analytical Chemists, Materials Scientists, Chemical Engineers, Biochemists, Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemists and Pharmacologists. In short, it is an essential product for all academic and industrial chemistry laboratories and libraries.COMPREHENSIVEWith its 50,000 reactions and 4,111 reagents, Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis offers readers a substantial wealth of information.Each entry contains, where available: CAS numbersInChI and InChIKeysAlternative names and structuresDetails on availability and physical properties, including solubility, form in which it's supplied, purification methods, form obtainable in purification and preparation methodsExtensive reviewsExamples of transformations for each reagent with reaction schemesComparison of one agent’s specific properties with those of others capable of equivalent chemistry, together with reaction schemesStereo-, regio-, and enantio-control propertiesRequired precautions for working with the reagentThe various uses and characteristics of each reagent with illustrative examplesRelated literatureMETHODICALEncyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis has been designed and developed by chemists for chemists. It makes it as easy as possible for users to find the most suitable reagents for performing particular reactions. Reagents are arranged in A to Z format while each reagent entry is presented in a uniform style so that the user is provided with a recognizable format and structure.New in the second edition of Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis: Over 1,000 new reagentsOver 620 updated reagents retaining the original text and references whilst adding additional up-to-date informationNew types of reagents and catalystsIn addition to CAS numbers each article now also includes InChI and InChIKeysA standard citation style in the reference list for each reagentAn author index

This handbook collects together short, informative articles on approximately 250 of the most widely used reagents in the field, into a single volume. Each of the articles, drawn from the e-EROS database, contains a summary of the most pertinent reactions for every reagent, with references to the original literature. This handbook will have a broad appeal and should find a home in every organic chemistry laboratory and library. Compiles all the essential reagents for syntheses on and with biomoleculesGives key information on protection, bond formation and deprotectionAn essential resource for all synthetic chemists working in drug development and medicinal chemistryMakes use of the leading reagent database e-EROS

Radicals and radical ions are important intermediates with wide use in organic synthesis. The first book to concentrate on reagents for the creation and use of radicals and radical ions, this new volume in the Handbooks of Reagents for Organic Synthesis series compiles articles taken from the e-eros database, on reagents for use in radical and radical chemistry, to help the chemist in the lab choose the right reagents. Reflecting the enormous growth of radical chemistry over the past ten years, this is an essential guide for all synthetic chemists.
