Description

8-Membered Heterocycle Synthesis focuses on both the new and established methods for the synthesis of various 8-membered heterocycles. 8-membered heterocyclic compounds act as target molecules for a wide range of synthetic studies and are present in a broad range of natural products, showing a wide variety of pharmaceutical and biological properties. Covering an important and rapidly growing branch of heterocyclic chemistry, this book brings together every protocol for the synthesis of 8-membered heterocycles in one place, allowing the reader to see all the possibilities for making a particular compound using one particular reagent.

Providing up-to-date and comprehensive information about the synthesis of medium-ring heterocycles and the latest information on this fast-moving field, with easy access to the synthetic protocols for different 8-membered heterocycles, case studies, and application, this book will be essential reading for students, pharmacologists, biochemists, organic and medicinal chemists, researchers, and academic professionals.

Key features

  • Covers the different methodologies for the synthesis of eight-membered heterocycles
  • Includes summary schemes for each type of heterocycle, giving an overview of all the reactants that can be used, and the experimental conditions
