The principles of Green Chemistry aim to improve the sustainability of chemical processes and reduce the generation of hazardous substances. There has been great growth in the field over the past few years and the number of research groups working in this area is still increasing. Now one of the biggest challenges is to embed the Green Chemistry ideals of safety and sustainability as standard, both in industry and academia. In order to do this, it is important to create resources that detail different applications and approaches. Green Synthetic Processes and Procedures brings together expert contributors from across a number of areas of green synthesis to cover a diverse array of subjects. Providing a thorough overview of the current green synthetic toolbox, from biocatalysis to sonochemistry, this book is a useful resource for any chemist wishing to design cleaner and safer processes.

Discover a comprehensive exploration of recent progress in the preparation of nitroalkanes from two leading voices in the fieldNitroalkanes: Synthesis, Reactivity, and Applications delivers a thorough summary of the importance of nitroalkanes in organic synthesis. The book covers their preparation, transformation into other functional groups, like carbonyls and amines, and their use in the formation of single carbon-carbon or double carbon-carbon bonds. The distinguished authors have included chapters on acyclic and cyclic alpha-nitro ketones as well as the synthesis of cyclopropanes and spiro ketals.The book provides treatments of the application of nitroalkanes for the synthesis of important heterocycles, poly-functionalized structures, natural products, and compounds of biological and pharmaceutical interest. A one-stop resource in a topic that hasn???t been fully addressed by any other book in decades, this book covers the most important synthetic routes toward nitroalkanes.Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:A thorough introduction to the synthesis of nitroalkanes, as well as the transformation of the nitro group into other functionalitiesAn exploration of the formation of C-C single bonds, C=C double bonds, and the breaking of C3C bonds from cyclic alpha-nitro ketonesDiscussions of acyclic alpha-nitro ketones, nitroalkanes as precursors of cyclopropanes, and the synthesis of spiro ketalsAn examination of the preparation and synthetic applications of 1,3-DinitroalkanesPerfect for organic chemists, natural products chemists, and catalytic chemists, Nitroalkanes: Synthesis, Reactivity, and Applications will also earn a place in the libraries of medicinal chemists seeking a one-stop resource for the most recent developments in the preparation of nitroalkanes, their functionalization, and their applications.
