Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains chapters on the synthesis of germoles and stannoles. Also included are reviews on the synthesis of important heterocyclic systems, including benzo[b]thiophenes, pyrimidines, quinazolines, phenazines, and 1,2-dioxolanes. Further chapters cover the synthesis of amides by transamidation and amidation of activated amides and esters, the synthesis of 1-nitrogen-functionalized 2-haloalkenes, and the synthesis of amines by rearrangement, including Stevens, Sommelet-Hauser, aza-Wittig, Overman, Beckmann, Hofmann, Lossen, and Curtius rearrangements. A review on cross-dehydrogenative coupling of terminal alkynes as an important and efficient route to functionalized alkynes and a chapter on the synthesis of hydrocarbon polymers complete the volume.
