Books in the Tetrahedron Organic Chemistry series

C-glycoside chemistry has been one of the main topics in carbohydrate chemistry, because of the synthetic challenges posed, and because C-glycosides have the potential to serve as carbohydrate analogues resistant to metabolic processes. This book provides a broad coverage of the various synthetic methods for the preparation of C-glycosides.

Whilst research into organolithium compounds has been ongoing, little is known about organolithium products of ortholithiation reactions. This volume contains an up-to-date survey of organolithiums and their use in synthesis.

Covering the recent development in enzymatic organic synthesis, this text focuses on the use of isolated enzymes. It includes a discussion of the the characteristics of enzymes as catalysts and different types of chemical transformations.

Discusses about high-resolution NMR techniques which find use in the structure elucidation of organic molecules and their behavior in solution. This book presents a large number of examples to demonstrate the utility of the methods covered. It is suitable for students and professionals in a chemistry laboratory.

Francesco Pietra's study focuses on representative examples of biodiversity and natural products that exhibit diversity drawn from the literature and the author's own observations.

A survey of combinatorial organic chemistry. It is suitable for chemists engaged in preparative work, both in industry and academe.

The world is chiral. Most of the molecules in it are chiral, and asymmetric synthesis is an important means by which enantiopure chiral molecules may be obtained for study and sale. Using examples from the literature of asymmetric synthesis, this book presents a detailed analysis of the factors that govern stereoselectivity in organic reactions.

Showing the clarification of reaction mechanisms of ligand coupling process around heteroatom centres, this work provides an understanding of these reactions which are certain to permit their application in organic synthesis, thereby achieving transformations which are quite difficult to achieve by other methods.

Covering all major areas of modern organic chemistry, this text consists of 300 problems which challenge the user in terms of providing reasonable mechanistic interpretations of sets of experimental observations.

A survey of combinatorial organic chemistry, which analyses the applications and achievements of this new field. It is suitable for chemists engaged in preparative work, both in industry and academe.

Provides readers with an overview of microwave assisted organic synthesis. Intended for students and researchers, this work addresses key issues faced by chemistry laboratories in academia and in industry. It includes exercises and worked problems which support independent study.

Suitable for researchers, students and scholars, this title reviews organic chemistry in the areas of synthesis and structure determination, including: Reagents; Reaction mechanisms; Molecular Diversity; Asymmetric Synthesis; Multi-dimensional nmr; Enzymatic Synthesis; Organometallic Chemistry; and, Biologically Important Molecules.

The field of combinatorial chemistry has seen tremendous growth. Part of the "Tetrahedron Organic Chemistry" series, this volume represents fresh approaches to solving problems in chemical reactivity and function. It emphasises principles and exemplifies these with examples. It includes exercises and worked problems.

Demonstrates the scope of cycloaddition reactions, including the Diels-Alder reaction, the ene reaction, 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions and [2+2] cycloadditions in organic synthesis. This book illustrates the ways in which they can be employed in the synthesis of carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds, including a variety of natural products.

In addition to references and reviews, this monograph covers several hundred organic syntheses based upon name reactions of which hundreds feature newer name reactions and the use of modern reagents.
