An Introduction to Organosulfur Chemistry

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sulfur chemistry is becoming increasingly important as the role of this element is explored in both biological and environmental fields. After the initial chapters have discussed the synthesis, reactivity, and properties of the compounds in general, each of the next nine chapters takes a specific sulfur containing functional group and expands the discussion on synthetic procedures. The final chapter looks at the major uses of organo-sulfur compounds and their impact on biological and environmental areas. An Introduction to Organosulfur Chemistry R J Cremlyn Professor of Organic Chemistry, University of Hertfordshire The physical and chemical properties of sulfur and the nature of the sulfur-carbon and sulfur-oxygen bonds are important factors in the widespread uses of organosulfur compounds as bioactive agents, in both medicine and agricultural pest control strategies. Other industrial uses of organosulfur compounds, including detergents, dyes, medicinal drugs, pesticides and artificial sweeteners, are also covered. Providing an easy to read, balanced review of this increasingly important area, An Introduction to Organosulfur Chemistry
outlines the role of sulfur in biological systems
surveys the special characteristics of organosulfur compounds and the major methods for their synthesis
provides an insight into the differences between organosulfur and the analogous oxygen compounds
identifies the unique features of organosulfur compounds and their varied uses both in industry and as key reagents in organic synthesis
