Carbanion Chemistry - Structures and Mechanisms

Klappentext Carbanions and other group 14 anions are fundamental reaction intermediates in organic chemistry and are central in mechanistic studies and in synthesis. This book describes their properties and structures, the conditions under which they form, and the factors that affect their thermodynamic and kinetic stability. Important chapters on the spectroscopy of these group 14 anions and on carbanion reactions catalyzed by heterogeneous solid basic catalysis are included. Zusammenfassung Carbanion Chemistry: Structures and Mechanisms explores the chemistry of these important anionic organic intermediates which are central to organic synthetic reactions from the aldol, Knoevenangel and Claisen condensations to enolate and other carbanion alkylations. Written for researchers and graduate students in organic chemistry, the approach is to consider the basics of carbanion structure, including stereochemistry, the influence of counterions andaggregation, as well as the substituent effects on stability and reactivity so as to explore the full range of behaviour of these species. Chapters on the spectroscopy of the arylmethyl carbanions and on carbanion reactions promoted by alkaline solids highlight specific areas and will be of interest topractising physical and synthetic organic chemists and chemical engineers who seek low- or no-solvent "green chemistry" ideas.
