Download or read book Nitroalkanes written by Roberto Ballini and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover a comprehensive exploration of recent progress in the preparation of nitroalkanes from two leading voices in the field Nitroalkanes: Synthesis, Reactivity, and Applications delivers a thorough summary of the importance of nitroalkanes in organic synthesis. The book covers their preparation, transformation into other functional groups, like carbonyls and amines, and their use in the formation of single carbon-carbon or double carbon-carbon bonds. The distinguished authors have included chapters on acyclic and cyclic alpha-nitro ketones as well as the synthesis of cyclopropanes and spiro ketals. The book provides treatments of the application of nitroalkanes for the synthesis of important heterocycles, poly-functionalized structures, natural products, and compounds of biological and pharmaceutical interest. A one-stop resource in a topic that hasn???t been fully addressed by any other book in decades, this book covers the most important synthetic routes toward nitroalkanes. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: A thorough introduction to the synthesis of nitroalkanes, as well as the transformation of the nitro group into other functionalities An exploration of the formation of C-C single bonds, C=C double bonds, and the breaking of C3C bonds from cyclic alpha-nitro ketones Discussions of acyclic alpha-nitro ketones, nitroalkanes as precursors of cyclopropanes, and the synthesis of spiro ketals An examination of the preparation and synthetic applications of 1,3-Dinitroalkanes Perfect for organic chemists, natural products chemists, and catalytic chemists, Nitroalkanes: Synthesis, Reactivity, and Applications will also earn a place in the libraries of medicinal chemists seeking a one-stop resource for the most recent developments in the preparation of nitroalkanes, their functionalization, and their applications.
