Synthesis of Six- and Seven-Membered Heterocycles: The Role of DMF and its Synthesis compares different synthetic approaches using DMF, including the advantages and disadvantages of those reactions, green methods, and the sustainability of reported synthetic methodologies, especially the microwave methods. The book presents several methodologies for the synthesis of six- and seven-membered heterocyclic compounds using dimethylformamide. Users will find the most up-to-date information in this fast-moving field which can be particularly challenging. With DMF drawing the attention of synthetic organic chemists, this book will help readers understand further developments in the uses of dimethylformamide beyond just its use as a polar solvent. As it can be expected that the use of dimethylformamide as a precursor will continue to grow in organic synthesis with new applications in sustainable and green chemistry, this book provides an ideal primer on the topics covered. - Compares different methods, reagents, reaction conditions, advantages and disadvantages - Discusses and compares different methodologies with green techniques - Includes reaction schemes, reaction mechanisms and the structure of reactive intermediates

Drawing on the experience of its expert author, the book is a useful guide on the key approaches being explored in this area. Following a user-friendly structure based on specific six-membered heterocycle ring groups, this volume highlights synthetic approaches and catalytic options that facilitate the construction of multiple substituted molecules under mild conditions from easily available starting substrates. - Highlights new methodologies for the synthesis of different six-membered heterocycles - Provides an up-to-date overview of this fast-moving field with an easy-to-use structure - Includes novel approaches used in the study and application of catalysts in synthetic organic reactions

Here, all aspects of the topic are presented in a compact manner. The book is clearly structured, and divided into two sections -- asymmetric synthesis of heterocycles containing only one nitrogen and that of those with more than one nitrogen as a heteroatom -- such that the necessary information may be found at a glance. The international team of authors provides important experimental procedures, including industrial applications. Essential for synthetic chemists in pharmaceutical and agrochemical chemistry.
