Reactive intermediates, such as carbocations, carbanions, radicals, carbenes, nitrenes, and organometallic species, play a crucial role in organic syntheses, yet their transient nature makes them ...

Organic chemistry explores the structure, properties and reactivity of carbon-based molecules. Owing to carbon’s ability to form strong C–C and C–H bonds, these compounds range from small hydrocarbons ...

As an introductory text-book for the classes of students indicated in the title, this should be very useful. It is clearly written, and provided with exercises. One might have wished for a little more ...

Description: Theory and application of organic chemistry and reaction mechanisms to organic synthesis and contemporary research topics in closely related areas. Topics include stereochemistry, ...

The preparation of chiral compounds as intermediates in drug synthesis is one of the most important targets in synthetic organic chemistry. Japanese scientists have now shown that the autocatalytic ...

Azides are chemical compounds widely used in synthetic organic chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, and materials chemistry. However, conventional synthesis methods for azide compounds have severe ...

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may ...
