Raney Nickel-Assisted Synthesis of Heterocycles (eBook)

Raney Nickel-Assisted Synthesis of Heterocycles covers the synthesis of heterocycles using Raney nickel. The book focuses on the use of Raney-Ni, a common catalyst in hydrogenation reaction and its uses in the synthesis and preparation of heterocycles. Furthermore, it explains how the development of new approaches and strategic deployments in known approaches for the formation of complex heterocyclic compounds continue to drive the field of synthetic organic chemistry, along with updates on efforts to prepare heterocycles through the development of new and efficient synthetic transformations.

Heterocyclic chemistry is an inexhaustible source of novel compounds, providing the most diverse chemical, physical and biological properties through the design of a wide range of combinations of carbon, hydrogen and heteroatoms. Significant focus has been paid to novel approaches to the formation of heterocyclic compounds, which are of practical use acting as modifiers and additives in a wide range of industries such as reprography, plastics, cosmetics, vulcanization accelerators, solvents, antioxidants and information storage.

• Presents complete coverage of Raney Nickel assisted reactions
• Includes the discovery, reactivities, advantages, disadvantages and other characteristics of Raney nickel
• Presents new methodologies for the synthesis of heterocycles

Dr. Navjeet Kaur is based at the Department of Chemistry at Banasthali Vidyapith University, India. After completing her PhD, she entered into a specialized research career focused on the synthesis of 1,4-benzodiazepine based heterocyclic compounds for organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. She has published over 100 scientific research papers, review articles, and monographs in the field of organic synthesis in nationally and internationally reputed journals. Dr Kaur obtained the Prof. G. L. Telesara Award from the Indian Council of Chemists in 2011, and has been an NSS Program Officer since 2016, in addition to delivering many radio talks.
