Download or read book Homologation Reactions written by Vittorio Pace and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-05-24 with total page 1256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a unique summary of homologation strategies in organic synthesis Homologation Reactions presents different concepts underpinning the use of homologating reagents as well as their applications in organic synthesis. It covers in-depth discussions on the rationales governing this kind of transformations with a strong emphasis on mechanistic elements modulating critical aspects (e.g. selectivity) of the processes. In addition, this two-volume work features: Metal carbenoids, ylides, and diazo reagents Homologating agents working under nucleophilic, electrophilic, and radical regime Homologations realized on boron-containing or carbon-centered linchpins Use of highly sensitive fluorinated homologating agents Progressive homologations and the concept of assembly line synthesis Homologation processes followed by rearrangement cascades Construction of cyclic motifs and ring-expansion Homologation reactions with carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide New and/or challenging directions to expect in the future Written by an international team of leaders in the field, the book is a useful guide for designing effective transformations by using homologation reactions. It is a must-read for every synthetic chemist in academia and industry!
