Modern Phosphonate Chemistry (eBook)

The vast literature devoted to phosphonate chemistry reflects an exciting field full of opportunities for research and development. As the field continues to advance, however, the time has come to consolidate the current body of knowledge into a concise, effective guide for the design and practice of phosphonate chemistry.Modern Phosphonate Chemistry is a unique, up-to-date reference that summarizes the role of phosphonates in traditional and modern organic synthesis. In eight chapters, each devoted to a particular class of phosphonates, it details the relevant synthesis methods, chemistry, and properties or applications relevant to the corresponding reagent. The authors include 600 reaction schemes that provide practical guidance and more than 4600 references that offer a convenient gateway to the veritable mountain of published research.It is now clear that functionalized phosphonates have a significant and growing role in organic synthesis as precursors of elaborated organic compounds, for the synthesis of complex, biologically important phosphonates, and in the synthesis of aminophosphonic acids and derivatives. Modern Phosphonate Chemistry is your first, and at present, only complete and practical resource focused exclusively on this dynamic field.
