Synopsis

This book was prepared with the idea of collecting some of the multitudinous new literature on carbanions and pre­ senting it along with the fundamentals of carbanion chemi­ stry. Some 400 papers from the period 1976 to 1982 have been assimilated into the book along with about an equal number of references (many to reviews) from the earlier literature. The material is organized under the headings Structures (with emphasis on the results of X-ray studies since they unambiguously show the molecular geometry), Preparations, and Reactions. Reactions, the largest topic, is divided into reactions with electrophiles, eliminations, oxidations, and rearrangements. Under these headings, carbanions without resonance stabilization (0' carbanions) are generally discus­ sed first, and are further subdivided into Sp3 (alkyl) followed by Sp2 (vinyl and aryl) followed by sp (acetylenic); resonance­ stabilized (n) hydrocarbon anions such as allyl and benzyl follow; lastly, heteroatom-containing n carbanions such as enolates are considered. Some references to carbanion equivalents are included at the end. Tucson, Arizona U.S.A. Robert B. Bates May 1983 Craig A. Ogle Table of Contents I. Introduction 1 II. Structures . 3 1.

BookReviews Int.

From the review of the third edition:

"Entries are written in a very accessible style. ... covers a broad range of cancer-related topics ... 250 contributory authors, all internationally recognised ... . The format is reader-friendly, consistent and well presented. ... particularly useful topics for students and to those new to the field of cancer research. ... the encyclopaedia is a useful reference text not only for clinical investigators but also for basic research scientists and an excellent reference for students. The book is accompanied by a useful CD-ROM ... ." (Cancer Forum, 2002)
