A comprehensive, five-book set on the chemistry of radicals This Radical Chemistry five-volume set is an essential one for students and researchers. It includes: Organosilanes in Radical Chemistry, The Chemistry of Free Radicals: Peroxyl Radicals, The Chemistry of Free Radicals: N-Centered Radicals, S-Centered Radicals, and General Aspects of the Chemistry of Radicals. Readers of the set will find a description of silyl radicals within an interdisciplinary context and learn about methods of formation and detection of free radicals. They will better understand the implications of the chemistry of peroxyl radicals, the developments of S-centered radical chemistry, and all aspects of N-centered radical chemistry.

Free radicals constitute the most frequently used class of reaction intermediates in organic chemistry. This study describes the structure and reactivity of free radicals, and explores their role in both natural phenomena and in the design of new reaction pathways.

Samir Zard provides a description of radical reactions and their applications in organic synthesis. This book shows that an with an elementary knowledge of kinetic and some common sense, it is possible to harness radicals into a tremendously powerful tool for solving synthetic problems.

The past twenty years has seen an explosion of interest in free radicals, as their pivotal role in both chemistry and biology has come to light. This introductory textbook aims to capture this excitement for advanced level undergraduates, with particular emphasis on the importance of radical reactions in organic synthesis. The book provides a gentle, stepwise introduction to the subject, taking the student from the basic principles of radical reactions through to their applications in industry and their role in biological and environmental processes, allowing the relevance of the subject to be grasped more easily. Suitable for advanced level undergraduates and postgraduates in chemistry and biochemistry, the book will also be invaluable for research level scientists requiring an update in the area.

Aimed at students with a grounding in organic chemistry, this Primer presents radical chemistry in a modern context, where reactive radicals are recognized both as mediators of many disease conditions, and as key players in mechanisms of enzyme action.

As little as a decade ago, radicals were regarded as interesting reactive intermediates with little synthetic use. However, recent results show that radicals have an enormous potential for applications in stereoselective reactions - it's all a matter of knowing what method to use and how to apply it. Three world experts in the field have combined their expertise and present the concepts to understand and even to predict the course of stereoselective radical reactions. In addition, guidelines are established which will enable the readers to plan and carry out their own stereoselective syntheses with radicals. A comprehensive list of references provides an easy access to the primary literature. The Stereochemistry of Radical Reactions is a highly topical introduction to this burgeoning field of research. Both advanced students and researchers active in the field will welcome this book as a source of concepts and ideas.
