Book Description

Heinrich Zollinger Diazo Chemistry I Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Compounds 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!
