Copper-Oxygen Chemistry / Wiley Series of Reactive Intermediates Bd.4 (PDF)

Covers the vastly expanding subject of oxidative processes
mediated by copper ions within biological systems

Copper-mediated biological oxidations offer a broad range of
fundamentally important and potentially practical chemical
processes that cross many chemical and pharmaceutical disciplines.
This newest volume in the Wiley Series on Reactive
Intermediates in Chemistry and Biology is divided into three
logical areas within the topic of copper/oxygen chemistry--
biological systems, theory, and bioinorganic models and
applications--to explore the biosphere for its highly evolved
and thus efficient oxidative transformations in the discovery of
new types of interactions between molecular oxygen and copper ion.
Featuring a diverse collection of subject matter unified in one
complete and comprehensive resource, Copper-Oxygen Chemistry probes
the fundamental aspects of copper coordination chemistry, synthetic
organic chemistry, and biological chemistry to reveal both the
biological and chemical aspects driving the current exciting
research efforts behind copper-oxygen chemistry. In addition,
Copper-Oxygen Chemistry:

* Addresses the significantly increasing literature on oxygen-atom
insertion and carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions as well as
enantioselective oxidation chemistries

* Progresses from biological systems to spectroscopy and theory,
and onward to bioinorganic models and applications

* Covers a wide array of reaction types such as insertion and
dehydrogenation reactions that utilize the cheap, abundant, and
energy-containing O2 molecule

With thorough coverage by prominent authors and researchers
shaping innovations in this growing field, this valuable reference
is essential reading for bioinorganic chemists, as well as organic,
synthetic, and pharmaceutical chemists in academia and
industry.
