Boronic Acids: Preparation and Applications in Organic Synthesis and Medicine

Dennis G. Hall9783527309917, 3527309918

In the past decade, organoboronic acids and boronic esters have become an extremely important class of compounds. Stable and safe to handle, these green compounds embrace a wide range of applications including their use as reagents and catalysts in organic synthesis, as probes and sensors in chemical biology, and as therapeutic drugs. Here, for the first time, the full story of organoboronic acids is presented in one comprehensive handbook. Professor Dennis Hall, a rising star in the field, is joined by a select group of expert authors to provide 13 chapters that cover all modern aspects of boronic acid derivatives. This book is an invaluable reading for organic, organometallic, and medicinal chemists.
