A lethal germ is unleashed in the U.S. mail. A chain of letters spreads terror from Florida to Washington, D.C., from New York to Connecticut, from the halls of Congress to the assembly lines of the U.S. Postal Service. Five people die, and ten thousand...

This comprehensive text covers the research and development trends in the growing field of aromatic C-H dehydrogenative coupling reactions, leading to different types of heterocycles. The author provides answers to how these coupling reactions occur,...

Many new drugs on the market are chiral compounds, that is, they can exist in two non-superimposable mirror-image forms. Asymmetric catalysis encompasses a large variety of processes for obtaining such compounds. The performance of the catalyst in those...

The Nobel Prize is science's highest award, as is the case with non-science fields too, and it is therefore arguably the most internationally recognized award in the world. This unique set of volumes focuses on summarizing the Nobel Prize within organic...

Intended for students of intermediate organic chemistry, this text shows how to write a reasonable mechanism for an organic chemical transformation. The discussion is organized by types of mechanisms and the conditions under...

Although many texts describe plants from China, the focus of this book is to draw on the rich culture and environment of medicinal plants and fungi/mushrooms of Yunnan Province. In fact, Yunnan Province covers two global hotspots of biodiversity, with...

This book provides an interdisciplinary, integrative overview of environmental problem-solving using mild reaction conditions, green reagents, waste free and energy efficient synthesis in both industry and academic world

In the last two decades, the reactivity of nitroalkenes as substrates in diverse catalytic asymmetric transformations has been of tremendous interest. This book will be an invaluable resource for those who are working in the area of asymmetric catalysis...

One of the very best things about organic chemistry is actually doing experimental work at the beneh. This applies not only at the profes­ sionallevel but also from the earliest stages of apprenticeship to the craft as a...

The ftavonoid pigments, one of the most numerous and widespread groups of natural constituents, are ofimportance and interest to a wide variety ofphysical and biological scientists and work on their chemistry, occurrence,...

Polymers occur in many different states and their physical properties are strongly correlated with their conformations. The theoretical investigation of the conformational properties of polymers is a difficult task and...

This is a reference manual of the heats of formation and conformation of polycyclic hydrocarbons. The book compiles information on the polycyclic hydrocarbons from C5 to C14, including the IUPAC, Chemical Abstracts and trivial...

This important work is based on the editors' symposium at the 2005 ACS meeting in Washington, DC. The contents include an emphasis on main-group polymers, including boron. The chapters are not simply journal articles, but have...

Scientists in the news speak out from opposite sides of the fence on the question of DNA testing for researching family history and ancestry. How do you interpret your own DNA test results? How do you work with or research oral history?

Since the discovery and synthesis of penicillin, many other families of β-lactam antibiotics have been realized and their extensive use worldwide continues to be a forefront line of action against infectious pathogens. Due to their medicinal activity and...

In the US alone some 90,000 people die from superbugs--bacteria that have grown immune to antibiotics. Officials agree that this problem will only get worse with time and new alternatives must be found. One alternative that is being considered by...
