The book explores N-heterocyclic compounds as unique structural units in the development of natural products and pharmaceuticals, along with the remarkable progress made in the area of high atom economic strategies, and more recently, copper-catalyzed C-H activation and its applications in organic synthesis. Readers will find troubleshooting protocols, as well as the advantages and limitations of each method discussed.
As copper catalysts show versatile chemical reactivity in many aspects, including their oxidation states 0–3 are accessible and their ability to facilitate bond formations due to their ability to serve as Lewis acids, oxidizing agents and catalysts, this book is an ideal resource on the topics explored.
- Discusses novel synthetic methods developed over the past decade for copper-catalyzed synthesis of N-heterocyclic compounds
- Covers the most recent methodologies adapted in synthetic chemistry for applications in natural products and pharmaceuticals
- Includes troubleshooting protocols, as well as the advantages and limitations of each method discussed in detail
