Cover of The Chemistry of Hydroxylamines, Oximes and Hydroxamic Acids, Volume 1
Focusing on an important class of compounds in organic synthesis, this text features contributions by leading experts, and delivers the quality expected from the “Patai Series.”

Cover of The Chemistry of Organomanganese Compounds
The past 15 years have seen tremendous progress in manganese chemistry, with the low cost of this metal making it an attractive choice as a functional group in organic syntheses. Surveying key compounds and reaction intermediates used in organic syntheses, this is the first volume in the Patai Series to focus on manganese in organic and organometallic chemistry. With contributions by leading experts, the book delivers the usual high quality of the Patai series. It also emphasizes novel applications in organic synthesis as well as technological trends in industrial, biomedical, and materials science.

Cover of The Chemistry of Organoaluminum Compounds
PATAI's Chemistry of Functional Groups publishes comprehensive reviews on all aspects of specific functional groups. Each volume contains outstanding surveys on theoretical and computational aspects, NMR, MS, other spectroscopic methods and analytical chemistry, structural aspects, thermochemistry, photochemistry, synthetic approaches and strategies, synthetic uses and applications in chemical and pharmaceutical industries, biological, biochemical and environmental aspects. To date, over 140 volumes have been published in the series.
This first volume on organoaluminum compounds in the series complements the recently published volumes on other areas of organometallic synthesis, notably the volumes on organoiron, organolithium, organozinc, organocopper and organomanganese compounds.

Cover of The Chemistry of the Cyclopropyl Group, Volume 2
This internationally authored edition consists of contributions by leaders in the field. It contains new material on recent advances in the topics covered in the previous volume, including the synthesis of cyclopropanes, their preparation by metal catalysed reactions, their stereomutations and thermochemistry and propellanes. This title also emphasizes the synthetic, analytical and physical properties of the cyclopropyl group.

Cover of The Chemistry of Sulphonic Acids, Esters and Their Derivatives
The series "The Chemistry of Functional Groups" is designed to cover in each volume all aspects of the chemistry of one of the important functional groups in organic chemistry. The emphasis is on the preparation, properties and reactions of the functional group treated and on the effects which it exerts both in the immediate vicinity of the group in question and in the whole molecule. The general plan of each volume is the same. An introductory chapter deals with the general and theoretical aspects of the group. Chapters discuss the characterization and characteristics of the functional groups, ie qualitative and quantitative methods of determination including chemical and physical methods, MS, UV, IR, NMR, ESR and PES - as well as activating and directive effects exerted by the group and its basicity, acidity or complex-forming ability. One or more chapters deal with the formation of the functional group in question, either from other groups already present in the molecule or by introducing the new group directly or indirectly. This is usually followed by a description of the synthetic uses of the group, including its reactions, transformations and rearrangements.
Additional chapters deal with special topics such as electrochemistry, photochemistry, radiation chemistry, thermochemistry, syntheses and uses of isotopically labelled compounds, as well as with biochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology.

Cover of The Chemistry of Hypervalent Halogen Compounds, 2 Volume Set
The understanding of functional groups is the key to understanding organic chemistry. In the tradition of Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups each volume treats all aspects of functional groups, touching on theoretical, analytical, synthetic, biological, and industrial aspects. Hypervalent halogen compounds, in particular iodine compounds, are very efficient and selective oxidants which tolerate a wide range of functional groups. The electrophilic properties of these reagents can also be used to introduce other functionalizations. The present volume is the first in the series to survey the properties and chemical behaviour of hypervalent iodine and bromine, their use in organic synthesis, as well as their industrial application. As with all new volumes, the chapters are first published online in Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups. Once a volume is completed online, it is then published in print format. The printed book offers the traditional quality of the Patai Book Series, complete with an extensive index.

Cover of The Chemistry of Hydroxylamines, Oximes and Hydroxamic Acids, Volume 2
The most complete resource in functional group chemistry
Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups is one of chemistry's landmark book series in organic chemistry. An indispensible resource for the organic chemist, this is the most comprehensive reference available in functional group chemistry. Founded in 1964 by the late Professor Saul Patai, the aim of Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups is to cover all the aspects of the chemistry of an important functional group in each volume, with the emphasis not only on the functional group but on the whole molecule.

Cover of The Chemistry of Peroxides, Parts 1 and 2, 2 Volume Set

The Chemistry of Peroxides is a new volume in the Chemistry of Functional Groups series. This series covers all aspects of organic chemistry with each volume containing chapters on:

  • General and theoretical aspects
  • Computational approaches
  • Thermodynamics and kinetics
  • NMR and ESR
  • Mass Spectrometry
  • Spectroscopies
  • Analytical aspects
  • Reaction mechanisms
  • Syntheses
  • Biological effects
  • Environmental effects
  • Industrial applications 

Edited by Zvi Rappoport, this series provides outstanding reviews on all aspects of functional groups in analytical, physical, synthetic and applied chemistry.

Cover of The Chemistry of Organoboron Compounds, 2 Volume Set

The ultimate resource in organoboron chemistry

Professor Mark Gandelman and his colleagues delve deeply into the theory, structure, analysis, synthesis, and reactions of organoboron chemistry in The Chemistry of Organoboron Compounds. Organoborons are used heavily as highly efficient reagents in many reactions, including cross-coupling and radical reactions. The highly regarded authors have tied together organic-chemical and physico-chemical knowledge usually unavailable from a single source. The book focuses on the use of completely biodegradable "green" reagents, as opposed to environmentally hazardous heavy metal catalysts.

The Chemistry of Organoboron Compounds delivers comprehensive and complete information on:

  • The behavior of organoboron compounds
  • The use of organoboron compounds in organic synthesis
  • The commercial applications of organoboron compounds

As a volume in the celebrated Patai book series, The Chemistry of Organoboron Compounds includes all the features that readers of that series are used to enjoying, including a comprehensive index at the back of the book.

Cover of The Chemistry of Peroxides, Volume 3

The understanding of functional groups is key for the understanding of all organic chemistry. In the tradition of the Patai Series each volume treats all aspects of functional groups. Each volume contains chapters on the theoretical and physicochemical foundations; on analytical aspects; on reaction mechanisms; on applications in synthesis. Depending on the functional group there are additional chapters on industrial use, on medical use, and on human and environmental toxicity issues.

The last volume in the series on the topic (Peroxides Vol. 2) was published in 2006. In the eight years since then a lot of developments have taken place, especially in the areas of synthesis, analysis and a better theoretical understanding of the reaction mechanism, all of which are covered here.

As with all new volumes, the chapters are first published online in Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups. Once a volume is completed online, it is then published in print format. The printed book offers the traditional quality of the Patai Book Series, complete with an extensive index.
