This guide provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of name reactions on homologation. Each section includes a description of the reaction, the historical perspective, a mechanism for the reaction, variations and improvements on the reaction, synthetic utilities of the reaction, experimental details, and current references to the primary literature. The primary topics include organometallics (palladium, organozinc, organocopper, other organometallics), carbon-chain homologation, (rearrangement, concerted rearrangement, cationic rearrangement, anionic rearrangement, other rearrangements), radical chemistry, asymmetric C-C bond formation, and other types (such as Cannizzaro disproportionation, Eschenmoser coupling, Mannich, Mitsunobu, Passerini, and Ugi).

The up-to-DATE guide to name reactions in heterocyclic chemistry Name Reactions in Heterocyclic Chemistry II presents a comprehensive treatise on name reactions in heterocyclic chemistry, one of the most exciting and important fields within organic chemistry today. The book not only covers fresh ground, but also provides extensive information on new and/or expanded reactions in: Three- and four-membered heterocycles Five-membered heterocycles (pyrroles and pyrrolidines, indoles, furans, thiophenes, and oxazoles) Six-membered heterocycles, including pyridines, quinolines, and isoquinolines Featuring contributions from the leading authorities in heterocyclic chemistry. Each section includes a description of the given reaction, as well as the relevant historical perspective, mechanism, variations and improvements, synthetic utilities, experimental details, and references to the current primary literature. The reactions covered in Name Reactions in Heterocyclic Chemistry have been widely adopted in all areas of organic synthesis, from the medicinal/pharmaceutical field, to agriculture, to fine chemicals, and the book brings the most cutting-edge knowledge to practicing synthetic chemists and students, along with the tools needed to synthesize new and useful molecules.

This book continues the well-established and authoritative series on name reactions in organic chemistry by focusing on name reactions on ring formation. Ring formating reactions have found widespread applicability in traditional organic synthesis, medicinal/pharmaceuticals, agricultural, fine chemicals, and of late, especially in polymer science.

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!
