Informationen zum Autor MALCOLM D. E. FORBES, PhD, is Professor of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he has served in various capacities since 1990. Professor Forbes's group is involved in free radical research and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. He is a renowned educator and lecturer and has received numerous awards for his research and teaching methods, including the Sir Harold Thomson Award from Elsevier, a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Foreign Fellowship Award, a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award, and the Bernard Smaller Prize for Research in Magnetic Resonance. In 2008, he was a J. W. Fulbright Senior Scholar, living and working in Novosibirsk, Russia. Klappentext The chemistry and biochemistry of reactive intermediates is central to modern mechanistic and quantitative understanding of organic chemistry and biochemistry. The only comprehensive review to cover carbon-centered radical intermediates and their role(s) in chemistry and biochemistry, Carbon-Centered Radicals provides detailed explanations of the role of these intermediates in organic reactions and detailed discussions of their versatility with respect to functional groups to help graduate students and professional researchers better understand and expand their synthetic utility.
