Book excerpt: There is a vast and often bewildering array of synthetic methods and reagents available to organic chemists today. The Best Synthetic Methods series allows any scientist who is interested in the chemical transformations of molecules to choose between all the alternatives and assess their real advantages and limitations. With the emphasis on laboratory use, these volumes represent a comprehensive and practical guide to modern synthetic organic chemistry. This book is the product of the authors many years practical experience and reading of the original literature. It contains a valuable distillation and critical evaluation of the Best Synthetic Methods for the formation and reaction of thiophenes (five membered heterocycles containing a ring sulfur) or polymers containing a thiophene functionality (thienyls). A brief review of each area is provided, but the emphasis in all cases is on describing efficient practical methods to effect the transformations described. The reader can therefore use this book to rapidly review and select the best methods of performing a synthetic conversion to create or modify a specifically substituted thiophene. Although this book contains many references to the original literature, the large number of experimental recipes enables the user to prepare a thiophene derivative without access to the original literature. These features make the handbook especially useful for physicists working in material sciences and organic/pharmaceutical chemists, who rapidly want to find out the availability of (or how to make) a specific thiophene. - Contains a systematic description and critical evaluation of the best methods for preparation of thiophenes and polymers containing thiophenes - Rapid location of methods achieved by systematic division of substituents following the periodic table - All chapters are richly illustrated by detailed experimental proceedures for the synthesis of five membered heterocycles containing sulfur

Download or read book Organomagnesium Methods in Organic Chemistry written by Basil J. Wakefield and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 1995-03-16 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book opens with a general overview of the constitution and reactivity of organomagnesium compounds, followed by information on handling them and on their detection and estimation. Throughout, practical aspects aswell as principles are emphasized. The chapters on the synthesis of organomagnesium compounds cover the preparation of special forms of metallic magnesium and the reaction of magnesium with substrates such as dienes, as well as the traditional preparation of Grignard reagents. Preparations by metallation and metal-halogen exchanges are also included, as are newer methods such as hydromagnesiation of alkenes and alkynes. Systematic coverage is provided on synthetically useful reactions of organomagnesium compounds. Of fundamental importance in organic synthesis are carbon-carbon bond forming reactions; additions to carbon-carbon, carbon-nitrogen, carbon-oxygen, and carbon-sulfur multiple bonds; and nucleophilic substitution at carbon. The formation of carbon-heteroatom bonds in organic compounds is described, where the heteroatom is hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, or halogen. Finally, the use of organomagnesium compounds in preparing other organometalloid and organometallic compounds is outlined. Representative experimental procedures are included throughout the book, and tables with references to well-described examples are provided. - Presents a general overview of the constitution and reactivity of organomagnesium compounds - Provides coverage on the detection and estimation of organomagnesium compounds - Emphasizes practical aspects as well as principles - Covers the preparation of special forms of metallic magnesium and the reaction of magnesium with substrates such as dienes - Includes preparations by metallation and metal-halogen exchanges - Reviews new preparation methods such as hydromagnesiation of alkenes and alkynes - Outlines information on synthetically useful reactions of organomagnesium compounds - Describes the formation of carbon-heteroatom bonds in organic compounds - Addresses the use of organomagnesium compounds in preparing other organometalloid and organometallic compounds - Includes representative procedures and tables with references to well-described examples
