This book authoritatively covers systematic strategies currently used in the preparation and utilization of nitrile oxides, nitrones, and nitronates in organic synthesis. With contributions from leading experts in the field, it presents up-to-date information on:

• Factors governing the stability of nitrile oxides, nitrones, and nitronates
• Syntheses, properties, and applications of stable nitrile oxides, nitrones, and nitronates
• Specific transformations of unstable nitrile oxides, nitrones, and nitronates in the absence of other reagents
• 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and other addition reactions of nitrile oxides, nitrones, and nitronates

With in-depth information on stable and unstable nitrile oxides, Nitrile Oxides, Nitrones, and Nitronates in Organic Synthesis, Second Edition is an invaluable reference for professionals in organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry in academia, government, and industry, including pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, agrochemicals, and biotech. It is also an excellent text for undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students studying organic synthesis.
