Description: Nitroalkenes reveals the great significance to theoretical and synthetic chemistry of this class of compounds. Over recent years the applications of nitroalkenes have expanded rapidly from established areas, such as rocket propulsion and explosives, into biotechnology, perhaps the science of the 1990s. The high reactivity of nitroalkenes makes them particularly suitable for the synthesis of biologically active compounds such as alkaloids, antibiotics, prostaglandins and biocides, etc.

Nitroalkenes is a unique and up-to-date analysis written for all chemists working in organic synthesis and chemical technology. The fascinating versatility of these compounds makes this book particularly relevant to researchers in the pharmaceutical, aerospace and explosives industries.
