Advances in Organic Synthesis: Volume 13

Advances in Organic Synthesis is abook series devoted to the latest advances in synthetic approaches towardschallenging structures. The series presents comprehensive reviews written byeminent authorities on different synthetic approaches to selected targetmolecules and new methods developed to achieve specific synthetictransformations or optimal product yields. Advances in Organic Synthesisis essential for all organic chemists in academia and the industry who wish tokeep abreast of rapid and important developments in the field. This volume presents the following reviews:Electroluminescent polymers - a review on synthesis from organic compoundsRemarkable advances in the asymmetric synthesis of biologically active natural compounds from the advent of chiral auxiliariesThe chemistry of ynamides and their application in organic synthesisCarbon-heteroatom bond formation for medium ring heterocyclesTin(ii) salts: versatile and efficient lewis acid catalysts in reactions to add value to the glycerol and terpenic alcohols(E)-n-methyl-1-(methylthio)-2-nitroethenamine (nmsm) as a versatile ambiphilic synthon in organic synthesis Advances in Organic Synthesis is abook series devoted to the latest advances in synthetic approaches towardschallenging structures.
