Molecular Rearrangements in Organic Synthesis, Hardcover by Rojas, Christian M. (EDT), ISBN 111834796X, ISBN-13 9781118347966, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

Synthetic organic chemists describe how molecular rearrangement reactions can meet challenges in the synthesis of complex molecular structures, including biologically active natural products. The chapters are not comprehensive reviews, but personal accounts, and cover 1,2-migrations, 1,2-migrations via three-membered rings, 1,3-transpositions, [3,3]-and [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements, and IPSO rearrangements. Among the topics are Beyer-Villiger oxidation/rearrangement by organic synthesis, the quasi-Faborskii rearrangement, the vinylcyclopropane-cyclopentene rearrangement, [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements with heteroatom-heteroatom bonds, and Pummerer-type reactions as powerful tools in organic synthesis.
