The synthetic usefulness of diazo compounds cannot be overlooked despite their danger. Because of their ylide and 1,3-dipole nature, the diazo compounds have a unique reactivity. The diazo compounds can be utilized for various different conversions including S-ylide-assisted epoxidation, cyclopropanation, or aziridination reactions. This book describes the new and classic methods for the synthesis of epoxides and covers an important and rapidly growing branch of heterocyclic chemistry.
- Explores different ways of synthesizing epoxides
- Highlights the wide use of three-membered heterocyclic epoxides in pharmaceutical industry
- Includes centralized, comprehensive protocols for the synthesis of epoxides

Beyond academia, she has contributed to rural development initiatives through NSS and UBA, and holds a Sikh Missionary certification.
Would you like me to make this version more academic (CV-style) or more narrative (profile-style) for use in websites or conference booklets?
