About This Book
Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes in Organic Synthesis
Facilitate milder, simpler reactions in organic synthesis with this cutting-edge family of building blocks
Donor-Accepted Cyclopropanes, or DACs, have attracted a resurgence of interest from organic chemists in recent decades for their role in facilitating various reactions such as cycloadditions, annulations, ring-opening and enantioselective transformations. The structural arrangement of DACs leads to milder, simpler reaction conditions, which have made them indispensable for a range of fundamentally and industrially important processes.
Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes in Organic Synthesis covers comprehensively the chemistry and applications of this compound class. The result is an invaluable guide for any researcher looking to bring DACs to bear in their own areas of research or development.
Readers will also find:
- A brief introduction of the history and reactivity of DACs
- Detailed discussion of reactions including Lewis acid-catalyzed cycloadditions, metal-free activation, asymmetric transformations, organocatalysis, and many more
- Application of DACs in natural product synthesis and pharmaceutical/agrochemical research
Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes in Organic Synthesis is ideal for organic chemists, experts in catalysis, pharmaceutical researchers, and any other scientists interested in facilitating milder, simpler reactions.
