Synopsis

Imidazole and Benzimidazole Synthesis is a comprehensive survey of the known methods of syntheses and ring modification. It brings together the multitude of synthesis of the imidazole ring in a systemic way interms of specific bond formation, and recommends the most attractive synthetic approaches. It also collects non-ring-synthetic approaches to classes of compounds such as nitro-, halogeno-, and amino-imidazoles, and covers the synthesis of N-substituted compounds and preparations of specific isomers.

• The only book in print dealing specifically with this topic
• Comprehensive survey of the known methods of synthesis and ring modification
• Recommends the most attractive synthetic approaches

About this title

From the Back Cover

Imidazoles and benzimidazoles are molecules of wide interest and importance, especially with regard to their pharmaceutical applications.

This book surveys the known methods of synthesis and ring modification and presents recommendations for the most attractive synthetic approaches. It brings together the multitude of syntheses of the imidazole ring in a systematic way in terms of specific bond formation. The author also collects non-ring-synthetic approaches to classes of compounds such as nitro-halogeno-, amino-, and cyano-imidazoles and covers the syntheses of N-substituted compounds, and preparations of specific isomers.

Full synthetic details are provided for selected compounds and tables of examples list percentage yields. An extensive list of references is included in each chapter and the index will direct readers to examples of specific compound types throughout the book.

There is vast and often bewildering array of synthetic methods and reagents available to organic chemists today. Many chemists have their own favoured methods, yet new and unfamiliar methods may well allow a particular synthetic step to be done more readily and in higher yield. best Synthetic Methods allows the practicing synthetic chemist to choose between all the alternatives, and assess their real advantages and limitations. Each volume deals concisely with a particular topic from a practical point of view, giving detailed examples and precise experimental directions and hints. With the emphasis on laboratory use, these volumes represent a comprehensive and practical guide to modern organic chemistry.|Imidazoles and benzimidazoles are molecules of wide interest and importance, especially with regard to their pharmaceutical applications.
