Synthetic and Natural Phenols (Studies in Organic Chemistry)

Book Description

The chemistry of phenols tends to be ignored in organic chemical textbooks and to be lost amongst the many classes of functional derivatives. This volume is not intended to provide a textbook approach but rather to give an account of developments in phenol chemistry in the last two decades.

Features of this book:

• Numerous phenolic systems have been covered in detail, e.g. phenolic propanoids.

• The emphasis throughout has been on synthesis, on what can be achieved by the use of phenolic intermediates and in the construction of phenolic end products.

• Many chapters enable the reader to refer to the original literature wherever possible.

• Various chapters provide a fund of tutorial material and problems for undergraduate studies and further, which will encourage perusal of the literature. Some 2000 references to applied and academic papers are given.

Book Description

Indoles continue to be of great interest to the pharmaceutical industry and at the current time several thousand specific new derivatives are reported annually. Research has been driven by the wide range of indole derivatives which occur in nature and through the biological activity of many indole derivatives, of both natural and synthetic origin.This book provides a systematic guide to the most useful and important reactions in the field for both synthesis and synthetic modification of the indole ring. While including the most recently developed and promising methods, it also updates informationavailable on classical methods to give the reader an up-to-date and comprehensive view of the subject. The methods are illustrated by procedures drawn from the literature and by tables including examples chosen to indicate both the scope of applicabilityand variations in methodology. The organization of the book is based on the retrosynthetic concept of identifying the bond(s) formed in the reaction, which in turn identifies potential starting materials.

Key Features
* Includes systematic summaries of the most important methods for the construction of indoles from aromatic precursors
* Discusses methods for preparing indoles by annelation of pyrroles
* Covers methods for adding or modifying substituent groups, including methods for introducing the tryptamine and tryptophan side-chainsExamines reduction/oxidation reactions that are specific for indoles
* Considers use of cycloaddition reactions for synthetic elaboration of indoles

Book Description

The origin of life from inanimate matter has been the focus of much research for decades, both experimentally and philosophically. Luisi takes the reader through the consecutive stages from prebiotic chemistry to synthetic biology, uniquely combining both approaches. This book presents a systematic course discussing the successive stages of self-organisation, emergence, self-replication, autopoiesis, synthetic compartments and construction of cellular models, in order to demonstrate the spontaneous increase in complexity from inanimate matter to the first cellular life forms. A chapter is dedicated to each of these steps, using a number of synthetic and biological examples. With end of chapter review questions to aid reader comprehension, this book will appeal to graduate students and academics researching the origin of life and related areas such as evolutionary biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics and natural sciences.

Customer Reviews:

Great book by a true scholar!.......2007-06-12

Pier Luigi Luisi is well known for his scholarly work in astrobiology, the field that studies origins of life on Earth and possibly Mars and other extraterrestrial objects. Prof. Luisi's work has always been on the forefront of the field, full of creativity, and elegantly presented. Prof. Luisi is always fair in giving credit to others. His papers are written in a balanced way. He never overstates his case.

So, Prof. Luisi is a great scientist. But this does not guarantee a good book, or even less a good textbook. I was very curious how he has performed in those areas.

Prof. Luisi performed brilliantly. I have found that his coverage of the material is superb, presented in a balanced scholarly way, and yet presented in an engaging manner, written beautifully. The boxes with summaries are helpful, as are the questions for the readers at the end of each chapter. The reference section is excellent. All the references have titles, which is helpful for deciding on the potential follow up.

It is clear that Prof. Luisi wrote this book to teach the readers, and in the process he made a superb reading. The readers should have a general scientific background to benefit the most from this book. If you are a college teacher, you may wish to use this book as a textbook in teaching an astrobiology course or a module.

Why should you read this book? In my opinion it is important for the readers to learn about the origins of life on Earth and possibly on Mars, since we are now in the middle of the most exciting missions by NASA and other space agencies that are dedicated to these topics
