Book SynopsisA thorough survey of synthetic methods, chemistry, and applications of major classes of fluorinated heterocycles Merging organic, heterocyclic, and fluoroorganic chemistry, fluorinated heterocyclic compounds have distinctively desirable properties suitable for use in pharmaceuticals and agrichemicals, especially their ability to penetrate the cell membrane barrier for drug absorption. Offering a needed overview of this relatively new addition to the heterocyclic family, this essential reference provides the latest state-of-the-art information on key application areas within fluorine chemistry. With contributions from experts from both industry and academia, the book covers the chemistry, synthesis, and applications of fluorinated heterocycles with chapters on: Three-, four-, five-, six-, and seven-membered fluorine-containing heterocycles Fluorinated nucleosides Fluorointermediates Applications of Trade Review"The book is well referenced and indexed and covers the literature from pioneering work in the 1960s to recent developments up to 2009. It provides an excellent source of information on fluorinated heterocycles as well as something to dip into if you are looking for some unexpected and stimulating chemistry. The book is suitable for advanced undergraduates and research students and represents a valuable addition to the literature that should be on the shelves of libraries in both academic and industrial institutions. I would recommend this book to all scientists who consider working with fluorinated compounds-be they synthetic chemists, life-science chemists, or materials scientists." (Angewandte Chemie, 2010) "A wealth of information on the types of fluorinated heterocycles that are possible and their methods of synthesis, reactivity, and utilization. Having worked in fluorine chemistry and with selected heterocyclic compounds for more than 45 years, I found many familiar examples but also much new material."

Book SynopsisThe purpose of the book is to introduce platelets, and their functional role in thrombotic and cardiovascular disease, justifying the relevance of platelet proteomics research. Focus then shifts to the recent developments on mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. This chapter shows potential applications for platelet proteomics not yet carried out. It includes examples of post-translational modifications (PTMs) analysis in platelets. The second part of the book focuses on the main research done so far on platelet proteomics. This includes general proteome mapping by non-gel based separation methods (MudPit), analysis of the general platelet proteome and signaling cascades by gel-based separation methods (2-DE), sub-proteome analyses (secretome/releasate, membrane proteins, organelles). Finally, the last section links the platelet transcriptome and application to disease. This section is highly relevant and includes chapters on proteomics, transcriptomics, functional genomics, sysTrade Review"Experienced researchers looking for an up-to-date and comprehensive review of this rapidly developing field will find this book a valuable resource.” (American Society for Mass Spectrometry, 13 December 2011)Table of ContentsForeword xiii Preface xv Acronyms xvii Part I General Overview: Platelets, Sample Preparation, and Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics 1 Platelets and Their Role in Thrombotic and Cardiovascular Disease: The Impact of Proteomic Analysis 3 Ronald G.

Book SynopsisMake the leap from introductory to organic chemistry The transition from first-year chemistry to an organic chemistry course can be a challenge for many students. Not only must they recall their first-year studies of bonding, structure, and reactivity, but they must also master a whole new set of nomenclature, along with the critical skill of electron-pushing. Reviewing the fundamentals and carefully introducing the important new concepts, The Bridge to Organic Chemistry: Concepts and Nomenclature helps students smoothly bridge the gap to organic chemistry. Concise and carefully structured, The Bridge to Organic Chemistry helps students strengthen their mastery of fundamental concepts from an introductory chemistry course and then introduces them to the new concepts of organic chemistry. Step by step, the reader will: Review important concepts such as structural isomerism, Lewis formulas, hybridization, and resonance and understand theTrade Review"Recommended.
