Methods and Applications of Cycloaddition Reactions in Organic Syntheses (ePub)

Advanced tools for developing new functional materials and
applications in chemical research, pharmaceuticals, and materials
science

Cycloadditions are among the most useful tools for organic
chemists, enabling them to build carbocyclic and heterocyclic
structures. These structures can then be used to develop a broad
range of functional materials, including pharmaceuticals,
agrochemicals, dyes, and optics. With contributions from an
international team of leading experts and pioneers in cycloaddition
chemistry, this book brings together and reviews recent advances,
trends, and emerging research in the field.

Methods and Applications of Cycloaddition Reactions in
Organic Syntheses focuses on two component cycloadditions, with
chapters covering such topics as:

* N1 unit transfer reaction to C-C double
bonds

* [3+2] Cycloaddition of alpha, beta-unsaturated
metal-carbene complexes

* Formal [3+3] cycloaddition approach to natural product
synthesis

* Development of new methods for the construction of heterocycles
based on cycloaddition reaction of 1,3-dipoles

* Cycloreversion approach for preparation of large
pi-conjugated compounds

* Transition metal-catalyzed or mediated [5+1]
cycloadditions

Readers will learn methods for seamlessly executing important
reactions such as Diels-Alder and stereoselective dipolar reactions
in order to fabricate heterocyclic compounds, natural products, and
functional molecules. The book not only features cutting-edge
topics, but also important background information, such as the
contributors' process for developing new methodologies, to
help novices become fully adept in the field. References at the end
of each chapter lead to original research papers and reviews for
facilitating further investigation of individual topics.

Covering the state of the science and technology, Methods and
Applications of Cycloaddition Reactions in Organic Syntheses
enables synthetic organic chemists to advance their research and
develop new functional materials and applications in chemical
research, pharmaceuticals, and materials science.
