This volume explores the nitroalkenes, their reactions and applications. Over recent years, the applications of these compounds have expanded rapidly from established research areas such as explosives and rocket propulsion into the area of biotechnology. The implications of these compounds to bioengineering and technology are vast; their high reactivity make them ideal for synthesis of biologically active compounds such as alkaloids and antibiotics both in nature and in the laboratory. Extensive references and reviews of the most recent research in this area, helps to make the book a beneficial reference.
