The only book series to summarize the latest progress on organic reaction mechanisms, Organic Reaction Mechanisms, 1991 surveys the development in understanding of the main classes of organic reaction mechanisms reported in the primary scientific literature in 1991. The 27th annual volume in this highly successful series highlights mechanisms of stereo-specific reactions. Reviews are compiled by a team of experienced editors and authors, allowing advanced undergraduates, graduate students, postd...

This book focuses on phytonutrients, specifically, the highly oxygenated triterpenoids called limonoids that occur primarily in the genus Citra and other closely related genera. It reviews the history of chemical research on limonoids and discusses their biological benefits, including cancer prevention in humans and antifeedant activity in agricultural pests.

This book provides readers with the knowledge they need to integrate sustainable approaches into their work. It covers different aspects of green methods, such as microwave irradiation, ultrasound sonication, ball milling, solvent-free reactions, the use of water as a solvent, and ionic liquids, for the synthesis of different compounds. Bringing together the knowledge of an expert team, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the use of green chemistry techniques, which have been frequent...

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the recent developments in the flavour and chemistry of caffeinated beverages. It includes an update on the chemistry and flavour research on coffee, tea, and cocoa, specifically addressing antioxidantive phenolic compounds found in the beverages, and an examination of the health benefits, such as the anticancer, anti-aging, and heat disease prevention properties of these beverages.

Pressure is one of the essential thermodynamic variables that, due to some former experimental difficulties, was long known as the “forgotten variable.” But this has changed over the last decade. This book includes the most essential first experiments from the 1960's and reviews the progress made in understanding glass formation with the application of pressure in the last ten years. The systems include amorphous polymers and glass-forming liquids, polypeptides and polymer blends. The thermodyna...

Nanocrystalline materials are three-dimensional ultrafine, polycrystalline microstructures. They give rise to interesting and useful chemical and physical-size effects. This book describes the development of a method of synthesizing chemical vapor for the production of nanocrystalline ceramic powders. The development of the microstructure during sintering is studied and the influence of the synthesis parameters on the structure and properties of the nanocrystalline ceramics from the atomic to th...

Around the world, the production and use of nanomaterials, as well as carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic substances (CMR) and endocrine disruptors has systematically increased. The increase in production has exposed workers to hazardous substances in practically all branches of the world economy. Readers will have access to up-to-date and comprehensive knowledge on emerging risks related to nanomaterials, endocrine disruptors, reprotoxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic substances, which are related...

Das fortschreitende Modelldenken in der Chemie hat auch Eingang gefunden in den Chemieunterricht. Was aber stellen sich die Schuler vor, wenn sie das Wort -Modell- horen? Das zu ermitteln, ist der Gegenstand der vorliegenden Untersuchung. Es wird vor allem die Abhangigkeit der Begriffsbildung von dem Alter, dem Geschlecht, der Schulart und der Dauer des erteilten Fachunterrichts untersucht. Dazu wurden 3757 Schuler der 3.-11. Jahrgangsstufe an Schulen im Elementarbereich, Hauptschulen, Realschul...

This book covers the field between extractive metallurgy and solidification and subsequent processing. An important point the book stresses is that the principles are the same in the treatment of various different metals. Someone concerned with the purification of one metal may learn from results and experiences gained on other metals and alloys. The specifics of metals such as iron and steel, aluminium, and copper are discussed in examples and in problems at the end of each chapter. The book is...
