During the last few years, the impact of organosulfur chemistry, especially in the areas of stereocontrolled processes, has led to an explosion of interest in the field.
This volume, number 23 in the "e;Tetrahedron Organic Chemistry"e; series, presents organolithium chemistry from the perspective of a synthetic organic chemist, drawing from the synthetic literature to present a unified overview of how organolithiums can be used to make molecules.
The book opens with a general overview of the constitution and reactivity of organomagnesium compounds, followed by information on handling them and on their detection and estimation.
With screening and selection of biocatalysts being undervalued in Europe in comparison with USA and especially Japan, the working parties "e;Applied Biocatalysis"e; and "e;Microbial Physiology"e; of the European Federation of Biotechnology decided to organise an international symposium entitled "e;New Frontiers in Screening for Microbial Biocatalysts"e;.
In a single volume, Monosaccharide Sugars critically summarizes the applied and potentially useful strategies for the synthesis and degradation of monosaccharides by chain-elongation, degradation, and epimerization.
Indoles continue to be of great interest to the pharmaceutical industry and at the current time several thousand specific new derivatives are reported annually.
Catalyst production for the transformation of crudes into gasoline and other fuel products is a billion dollar/year business and fluid cracking catalysts (FCCs) represent almost half of the refinery catalyst market.
In recent years C-glycoside chemistry has been one of the main topics in carbohydrate chemistry, not only because of the synthetic challenges posed, but also because C-glycosides have the potential to serve as carbohydrate analogues resistant to metabolic processes.
