This work provides timely essays on the many facets of strained and interesting organic molecules. Contributions from experts in the field provide insights not only for the practicing organic chemist, but also for the student at the senior undergraduate and graduate level.
The eighth volume of this series comprises six chapters and describes a variety of interesting strained and not so strained molecules and their use - or abuse - in the widest sense. This volume contains a position summary of planar carbon networks, the field of strained allenesis addressed by considering the five- to- nine-membered ring derivatives and this is followed by an introduction to the nature of carbene geometry and the use of ESR spectroscopy in deducing carbene structure. The use of strained molecules in the synthesis of important new compounds of a natural and non-natural nature is a main theme in the volume. Other areas that are discussed are strained carbohydrates, stereocontrolled access to natural products and polymer systems as well as a much sought after contribution to the series on small-ring nitrogen heterocycles.
Preface. Dihetracyclobutanes containing highly coordinate main group elements: synthesis, structures and thermolyses. Structures of benzene derivatives with symmetrical substitution by three donor and three acceptor groups. Extremely strained paracyclophanes: preparation, structures, and properties. All-carbon molecules from small-ring propellanes . Relative stabilities of isomeric fullerenes.
