Conjugate Addition Reactions in Organic Synthesis: Volume 9

Conjugate Addition Reactions in Organic Synthesis, Second Edition, provides an introduction to the chemistry of conjugate reactions, a group of reactions that constitute one of the most important classes of chemical reactions in organic synthesis. The book is organized according to class of acceptor rather than the class of nucleophile, which makes for easier synthetic problem solving. All aspects of conjugate addition reactions are covered, including theory, mechanism, catalysis, and total synthesis. Asymmetric processes are featured heavily, and there is emphasis on catalysis, given its importance in all aspects of organic synthesis today. Extensive examples in total synthesis illustrate how particular synthetic challenges are addressed and resolved with conjugate addition chemistry.

The second edition features new coverage of acceptors and nucleophiles, as well as organocatalysis, gold catalysis, peptide catalysis, arene additions, and emerging areas such as biocatalytic methods and advances in mechanism theory. This book is an ideal reference for advanced undergraduates, post-graduates, researchers, and academics working in medicinal, pharmaceutical, polymer and industrial chemistry.
