TY - BOOK AU - AU - Pace,Vittorio TI - Homologation reactions : : reagents, applications, and mechanisms / SN - 9783527351237, U1 - 547.2 23 PY - 2023/// CY - Weinheim : PB - Wiley-VCH KW - Organic compounds Synthesis N2 - 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! ER -
