Modern Catalytic Methods for Organic Synthesis With Diazo Compounds : From Cyclopropanes to Ylides, Hardcover by Doyle, Michael P.; McKervey, M. Anthony; Ye, Tao, ISBN 0471135569, ISBN-13 9780471135562, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

Treats those aspects of the chemistry of diazocarbonyl compounds that relate to their versatile role as intermediates for organic synthesis, particularly through the use of modern catalytic process. Some of the reactions covered include cyclopropanation, C-H and X-H insertion, Wolff rearrangements, and ylide formation. Each of the 12 chapters includes example procedures for synthesis and use of diazocarbonyl compounds. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
