    Phosphines as Reagents and Catalysts in Organic Synthesis provides comprehensive coverage of metal-free organic reactions with phosphines as reagents or catalysts, as well as their synthetic uses. The work begins with a historical overview of the use of phosphines in metal-free organic reactions, followed by details of their physical properties and the source and preparation methods for representative phosphines and chiral variants. The applications of phosphines as reagents and catalysts in organic synthesis are discussed, along with case studies organized according to reaction type. Researchers, graduate students and undergraduates working in organic synthesis will find this work an invaluable resource.These reactions include halogenation under Appel conditions, Wittig reaction, Staudinger reaction, Mitsunobu reaction, alcohol acylation and kinetic resolution, Rauhut-Currier reaction, Morita-Baylis-Hillma... reaction, conjugate addition, umpolung additions, annulation reactions, allylic substitution, allylic amination, and isomerization reactions. For each reaction an overview of the state-of-the-art is presented along with the reaction data, enantioselective version using chiral phosphine, and its application in the synthesis of biologically active compounds and total synthesis of natural products. The work concludes with a summary that highlights the most promising reactions for future development in this field of research.

  • Theory of Electrophoresis and Diffusiophoresis of Highly Charged Colloidal Particles

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 26
    • November 30, 2018
    • Eric Lee
    • English
    Theory of Electrophoresis and Diffusiophoresis of Highly Charged Colloidal Particles discusses the electrophoretic and diffusiophoretic motions of various colloidal entities, such as rigid particles, liquid droplets, gas bubbles, and porous particles, focusing on the motion-deterring double-layer polarization effect pertinent to highly charged particles, with the lowly charged ones serving as the limiting cases. Boundary effects such as those from a cylindrical pore, a solid plane, or an air-water interface are analyzed as well for the electrophoretic motion of the various particles considered. Dynamic electrophoresis is also explored and treated.The contents are suitable for researchers, graduate students, or senior college students with some basic background of colloid science and transport phenomena. As there is no closed-form analytical formula in general for the situation of highly charged particles, the results are presented with extensive figures and plots as well as tables under various electrokinetic situations of interest to facilitate the possible use of interested readers.

    • English
    Charge and Energy Storage in Electrical Double Layers presents the basic scientific concepts and implementation of procedures devised to obtain capacitive energy from changes in the potential of electrical double layers when the salinity of solutions is changed. Capacitive deionization— the closely connected reciprocal process—is also considered. The book covers the fundamentals of electrical double layers and ions transport in porous media, the description of promising techniques of energy extraction, and the practical problems involved in each. It is written for scientists in academia and industry, and for graduate students working in supercapacitors, capacitive mixing and deionization.
