Microwaves in Organic Synthesis (Two Volume Set)
Description:... The long awaited new edition of this comprehensive two-volume reference has been completely updated and expanded by 30%
to include chapters on ionic
liquids, carbohydrate chemistry, multicomponent reactions, solid phase peptide synthesis, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. Written by the most eminent scientists
in their respective fields, the chapters, which complement one another, now also include eight new fields of application, such
as heterocyclic chemistry, cycloadditions and carbohydrate chemistry.
In addition, very promising techniques under development
are treated, resulting from the application of microwave irradiation to combinatorial chemistry, radiochemistry and photochemistry.
The standard reference in this booming field.
Andre Loupy received his PhD in 1975 from Paris-South University under Dr. Jacqueline Seyden-Penne at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in Thiais, France. He joined the Laboratory of Selective Reactions on Supports in Paris-South University, Center of Orsay, before becoming the first class director of research at CNRS, where he led this lab until the end of 2005. He has some 280 publications and 10 chapters in several books to his name, and is a recipient of the M.J. Collins Award. Together with Georges Bram, Dr. Loupy has been concerned with microwave activation since 1987, especially when coupled to solvent-free conditions ("green chemistry") and the non-alimentary valorization of products from agriculture. His current research interests focus on medium effects in organic synthesis including solvent and salt effects, solvent-free conditions with a special interest in supported reactions and phase transfer catalysis.
