Diazo Chemistry I: Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Compounds

Description

By the author of Color Chemistry! Diazo compounds play an important role as reaction intermediates and reagents in organic synthesis. This book is a critical, well referenced and eminently readable introduction to the chemistry of aromatic and heteroaromatic diazo compounds. It provides well researched information that could otherwise be obtained only by costly and time-consuming searches of multi-volume treatises and the original literature. Topics covered in depth include: * preparation and structure of diazo compounds * kinetics and mechanism of diazotizations * reactions of diazo compounds * applications in organic synthesis Many tables and reaction schemes as well as copious literature citations make this book a highly valuable reference work for synthetic organic chemists, industrial chemists and color chemists. Also forthcoming: Volume 2 of Diazo Chemistry covering aliphatic, inorganic and organometallic compounds. Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1–10): Chapter 2 Methods for the Preparation of Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Diazo Compounds (pages 11–37): Chapter 3 Kinetics and Mechanism of Diazotization (pages 39–64): Chapter 4 The Structure of Diazonium Compounds (pages 65–88): Chapter 5 Acid–Base and Isomerization Reactions of Diazo Compounds in Water (pages 89–105): Chapter 6 Additions of Other Nucleophiles to Arenediazonium Ions (pages 107–141): Chapter 7 Structural and Mechanistic Aspects of Additions of Nucleophiles to Diazonium Ions (pages 143–159): Chapter 8.1–8.5 Dediazoniation of Arenediazonium Ions: Sections 8.1–8.5 (pages 161–188): Chapter 8.6–8.10 Dediazoniation of Arenediazonium Ions: Sections 8.6–8.10 (pages 188–212): Chapter 9 Logic, Psychology, and Serendipity of Scientific Discoveries – An Interlude (pages 213–219): Chapter 10.1–10.9 Applications of Heterolytic and Homolytic Dediazoniations in Organic Syntheses: Sections 10.1–10.9 (pages 221–253): Chapter 10.10–10.13 Applications of Heterolytic and Homolytic Dediazoniations in Organic Syntheses: Sections 10.10–10.13 (pages 253–288): Chapter 11 Host–Guest Complexation of Arenediazonium Salts (pages 289–303): Chapter 12.1–12.6 Azo Coupling Reactions: Sections 12.1–12.6 (pages 305–346): Chapter 12.7–12.11 Azo Coupling Reactions: Sections 12.7–12.11 (pages 346–383): Chapter 13 Formation and Reactions of Triazenes (pages 385–404):
