About this title

Synopsis:

Advances in the chemistry of three- to six-membered monocarbocycles during the period 1973-1991 are covered in this volume. A detailed review of the conformations and stereochemical analyses of these alicycles and also higher members of the series is given. The chemistry of the individual ring systems are dealt with in selective chapters. Five- and six-membered carbocyclic units are commonly found in natural products and, therefore, full chapters devoted to the prostaglandins and their allies, and natural products bearing a cyclohexane, a cyclohexene, or a cyclohexadiene ring system are included. The volume concludes with a review of the chemistry of the cyclohexadienes and, in particular, of their metallic complexes. This last chapter does not appear in the First Supplements to Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, but such has been the interest in this subject area in the last decade that a review at this time seemed appropriate.
