Aniline is the parent molecule of a vast family of aromatic amines. Since its discovery in 1826 it has become one of the hundred most important building blocks in chemistry. Aniline is used as an intermediate in many different fields of applications, such as isocyanates, rubber processing chemicals, dyes and pigments, agricultural chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The understanding of functional groups is key for the understanding of all organic chemistry. In the tradition of the Patai Series, this volume treats all aspects of this functional group. It contains chapters on the theoretical and computational foundations; on analytical and spectroscopical aspects with dedicated chapters on Mass Spectrometry, NMR, IR/UV, etc.; on reaction mechanisms; on applications in syntheses.

The human life is simple as well as quite intrigued and it always tries to find solutions to unending problems and challenges. We know that the need is the mother of invention and the scientists in the world are saints of modern age, as based on their tireless efforts the humans have made a significant progress in various fields as telecommunications, information technology, space technology, infrastructures, food technology through green revolution, life-saving drugs, etc. All these fields need chemicals, which must be manufactured at commercial scales. However, the old technologies are handicapped with unlimited limitations for commercial production of these much needed chemicals. As an old man needs help to cross the road, such limitations in the commercial productions of these chemicals are overcome with co-operative effects of other additives as promoters of reaction rates, which in turn help produce the desired products in quantitative yields. Isn’t it interesting to find out what kind of these promoters are, as they have been identified and successfully used through a long journey of innovative, cost-effective process developments with excellent yields and purities of the targeted molecules, which find number of applications in human life. New technologies with above attributes are the essence of this book entitled as “Aniline and its Analogs”, which covers the old and new methods and technologies of their preparations and manufacturing till date, which is compiled by a versatile and an accomplished scientist.

The Chemistry of Peroxides is a new volume in the Chemistry of Functional Groups series. This series covers all aspects of organic chemistry with each volume containing chapters on: General and theoretical aspects Computational approaches Thermodynamics and kinetics NMR and ESR Mass Spectrometry Spectroscopies Analytical aspects Reaction mechanisms Syntheses Biological effects Environmental effects Industrial applications Edited by Zvi Rappoport, this series provides outstanding reviews on all aspects of functional groups in analytical, physical, synthetic and applied chemistry.

Organic compounds containing amino groups are one of the most important classes of chemicals in both academia and industry. This class of materials is a very important structural motif in organic synthesis due to its widespread applications in natural products, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials. This book is a concise overview of modern approaches to N-alkylation and N-arylation of primary, secondary and tertiary amines using alkylating and arylating reagents with amino sources found in both basic and applied chemical research. The work also discusses key examples of amine synthesis from a sustainable perspective, using deep eutectic solvents and the application of amines in different areas. It is an ideal reference for advanced and postgraduate students as well as academic and industrial chemists working in organic, natural product, catalytic, medicinal, and polymer chemistry.

The understanding of functional groups is key for the understanding of all organic chemistry. In the tradition of the Patai Series each volume treats all aspects of functional groups. Each volume contains chapters on the theoretical and physicochemical foundations; on analytical aspects; on reaction mechanisms; on applications in synthesis. Depending on the functional group there are additional chapters on industrial use, on medical use, and on human and environmental toxicity issues. The last volume in the series on the topic (Peroxides Vol. 2) was published in 2006. In the eight years since then a lot of developments have taken place, especially in the areas of synthesis, analysis and a better theoretical understanding of the reaction mechanism, all of which are covered here. As with all new volumes, the chapters are first published online in Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups. Once a volume is completed online, it is then published in print format. The printed book offers the traditional quality of the Patai Book Series, complete with an extensive index.
