Handbook of Reagents for Organic Synthesis – serie

Another hot-topic volume in the Handbook of Reagents for Organic Synthesis series! This is the first book with all relevant Fluorine containing reagents, and it is an important addition to the vast list of existing books on organic and inorganic Fluorine synthesis.  Synthetic chemists, most particularly medicinal and pharmaceutical chemists, are often called upon to prepare compounds that contain Fluorine as a key structural feature. In the past, this seemed to be a domain for specialists, today every synthetic chemist working in these area is expected to synthesize compounds containing Fluorides. This book will be an important source of information for the selection and handling of the right reagents. A must-to-have resource for all synthetic chemists working in drug development and medicinal chemistryMakes use of the leading reagent database e-EROS.

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

The long awaited Handbook for all synthetic chemists working on coupling reactions, compiling all major catalyst components in use in the area.Consists of a compilation of articles taken from the EROS database, with the inclusion of about 20 newly commissioned catalysts/pre-catalysts/ligands that have made an impact in this area of synthetic organic chemistry.Includes catalyst systems used in Heck, Kumada-Tamao-Corriu, Suzuki-Miyaura, Hiyama-Hatanaka, Negishi, Migita-Kosugi-Stille, Buchwald-Hartwig, and Tsuji-Trost coupling reactions.

Oxidizing and Reducing Agents S. D. Burke University of Wisconsin at Madison, USA R. L. Danheiser Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA Recognising the critical need for bringing a handy reference work that deals with the most popular reagents in synthesis to the laboratory of practising organic chemists, the Editors of the acclaimed Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis (EROS) have selected the most important and useful reagents employed in contemporary organic synthesis. Handbook of Reagents for Organic Synthesis: Oxidizing and Reducing Agents, provides the synthetic chemist with a convenient compendium of information concentrating on the most important and frequently employed reagents for the oxidation and reduction of organic compounds, extracted and updated from EROS. The inclusion of a bibliography of reviews and monographs, a compilation of Organic Syntheses procedures with tested experimental details and references to oxidizing and reducing agents will ensure that this handbook is both comprehensive and convenient.

Recognising the need for a cost effective reference work that deals not only with the most popular reagents in synthesis but also reaches the widest possible audience of practising organic chemists, the editors of 'The Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis' (EROS) have developed a list of the most important and useful reagents employed in the field, conveniently presented in four separate volumes. The reagents included in this volume reflect the fact that protecting groups and activation procedures are often used in combination. There are many instances in the synthesis of natural and unnatural products, pharmaceuticals, oligosaccharides, and oligonucleotides, etc., where similar tactics must be employed to prevent undesired activation or reaction of functionality. Accordingly, the most important reagents used to protect amines, alcohols, carboxyl, carbonyl and other reactive functional groups are included in this volume. The list of activating agents includes well known reagents that activate functional groups for substitution or elimination reactions, as well as less traditional examples, e.g. HMPA used to "activate" enolates and alkyllithium reagents to increase the nucleophilicity. Each article contains all of the information found in EROS as well as expanded related reagents listings and additional references to enable the reader to quickly access a broad range of information that is beyond the scope of the reagent entries themselves. This text will prove an invaluable resource.

The Handbook is part of the Handbook of Reagents for Organic Chemistry series, aiming at collecting articles on a particular theme that individual researchers in academia or industry can use on a daily basis. The Handbook starts with a section discussing the most important aspects of heteroarene functionalization. The introduction is followed by the alphabetical listing of the most relevant reagents drawn from the EROS database. The Editor, André Charette from the University of Montreal, has selected 120 reagent descriptions, many of them updated with heteroarene-specific reactions for this Handbook. Following the standard format for EROS, each article contains an overview of the synthesis and physical properties of the reagents or catalyst, conditions for its storage, and purification methods.Given the importance of heteroarenes in biology and especially in medicinal chemistry, a Handbook that focuses exclusively on heteroarene functionalization has been long overdue. This Handbook will have a broad appeal to many individuals engaged in the area of medicinal chemistry, fine chemical synthesis and industrial-scale chemistry.Key features: Builds on the success of the previously published Handbooks of Reagents for Organic SynthesisCompares the numerous new C-H functionalization reactions that have been developed in the past decadeHeteroarene functionalization is widely used in the development of pharmaceuticals and other bioactive compoundsContains listings of secondary reagents for which more information is available in the online edition

Over the last three decades the importance of organosilicon chemistry has greatly increased because it has opened a number of new synthetic strategies. Silicon reagents are usually low-cost, versatile and allow a wide range of reactions. This is the first Handbook to compile essential Silicon containing reagents and makes use of the leading reagent database e-EROS. Another hot volume in the series Handbooks of Reagents for Organic Synthesis, this is a must-have resource for all synthetic chemists working in drug development and medicinal chemistry. For the selection the Editor focussed on three key synthetic approaches with the greatest impact:1. Use of silicon as a 'temporary tether' by unifying a reactive pair of functional groups and taking advantage of their template-biased intramolecular cyclization.2. The specific use of the silane functionality as a hetero t-butyl group, often colloquially referred to as the use of silicon as a 'fat proton'.3. The use of the Brook rearrangement as an 'anion relay stratagem'.A new feature in this Handbook is the reagent finder, an alphabetically organized lookup table arranged by organic functionality and specific structure of the silicon atom to which it is bound.
