Synthesis of Carbon-Phosphorus Bonds, Second Edition

Robert Engel0-8493-1617-0, 9780849316173

For this second edition of a book first published 17 years ago, Engel (chemistry and biochemistry, City University of New York) and Cohen (chemistry, Pace University) have added updated material on recent advances in the use of established methods as well as new methods in the field. The book will be useful as a working guide for the laboratory, incorporating classical approaches with recent developments in carbon-phosphorous (C-P) bond formation. These advances include the preparation of phosphoranes as well as new approaches to the preparation of compounds with aromatic and vinylic C-P bonds. This edition also offers detailed surveys of IUPAC nomenclature recommendations, common notation systems, and numerous experimental examples.
