Compare Recent Applications Of Selected Name Reactions In The Total Synthesis Of Alkaloids by Majid M. Heravi, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Recent Applications of Selected Name Reactions in the Total Synthesis of Alkaloidsincludes comprehensive coverage of name reactions in the synthesis of alkaloids. This book highlights the synthesis of various alkaloids using special name reactions including the Diels-Alder, Friedel-Crafts, Heck, Mannich, Pauson-Khand, Pictet-Spengler, Sonogashira and Suzuki reactions. In this book, some selected name reactions in the total synthesis of alkaloids are covered, as they can be used as the key step/steps in the synthesis of different alkaloids exhibiting various biological activities. All chapters include an introduction, history and mechanism of the name reaction, and present the origin of the natural product and its known biological activities. The pathway to total synthesis is visually illustrated, and the focus is on the step in which a name reaction is applied. Chemists working in the area of synthetic organic chemistry will find this reference useful, as well as those working to develop novel methodologies for the synthesis of natural products in both academia and industry. This book is also beneficial to biologists, pharmacists and botanists.
