Elsevier Raney Nickel-Assisted Synthesis of Heterocycles

Raney Nickel-Assisted Synthesis of Heterocycles covers the synthesis of heterocycles using Raney nickel. The book focuses on the use of Raney-Ni, a common catalyst in hydrogenation reaction and its uses in the synthesis and preparation of heterocycles. Furthermore, it explains how the development of new approaches and strategic deployments in known approaches for the formation of complex heterocyclic compounds continue to drive the field of synthetic organic chemistry, along with updates on efforts to prepare heterocycles through the development of new and efficient synthetic transformations. Heterocyclic chemistry is an inexhaustible source of novel compounds, providing the most diverse chemical, physical and biological properties through the design of a wide range of combinations of carbon, hydrogen and heteroatoms. Significant focus has been paid to novel approaches to the formation of heterocyclic compounds, which are of practical use acting as modifiers and additives in a wide range of industries such as reprography, plastics, cosmetics, vulcanization accelerators, solvents, antioxidants and information storage. Review Presents novel approaches used in the study and application of Raney nickel in synthetic organic reactions From the Back Cover <i>Raney Nickel-Assisted Synthesis of Heterocycles</i> covers in detail the synthesis of heterocycles using Raney nickel. Heterocyclic chemistry is an inexhaustible source of novel compounds providing the most diverse chemical, physical, and biological properties through the design of a wide range of combinations of carbon, hydrogen, and heteroatoms. Significant focus has been paid to novel approaches to the formation of heterocyclic compounds, which are of practical use acting as modifiers and additives in a wide range of industries such as reprography, plastics, cosmetics, vulcanization accelerators, solvents, antioxidants, and information storage. Raney-Ni can be used in various reactions that give high yields as well as selectivity, especially in the synthesis and preparation of heterocycles, which are the main structure in many biological molecules as well as regulated drugs. Focusing on the use of Raney-Ni, a common catalyst in hydrogenation reaction and its uses in the synthesis and preparation of heterocycles, Raney Nickel-Assisted Synthesis of Heterocycles explains how the development of new approaches as well as the strategic deployment of known approaches for the formation of complex heterocyclic compounds, continues to drive the field of synthetic organic chemistry as well as efforts to prepare heterocycles through the development of new and efficient synthetic transformations. About the Author Dr. Navjeet Kaur is based at the Department of Chemistry at Banasthali Vidyapith University, India. After completing her PhD, she entered into a specialized research career focused on the synthesis of 1,4-benzodiazepine based heterocyclic compounds for organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. She has published over 100 scientific research papers, review articles, and monographs in the field of organic synthesis in nationally and internationally reputed journals. Dr Kaur obtained the Prof. G. L. Telesara Award from the Indian Council of Chemists in 2011, and has been an NSS Program Officer since 2016, in addition to delivering many radio talks.
