Author Description

This handbook is the first to concentrate on the manifold applications of phosphorus in synthetic chemistry, covering everything from modern reactions, via chiral phosphines and phosphorus NMR right up to pharmaceutical applications. It details the use and preparation of phosphorus reagents, including pentacovalent phosphorus in organic synthesis, hydroxyphosphonates, phosphorus in metathesis reactions, synthesis of P-C bonds, chiral phosphines, phosphonoamino acids and peptides, bisphosphonates, and phosphorus-containing polymers. For organic and polymer chemists, as well as those working with/on organometallics, and in the pharmaceutical industry.
