Robert Burns Woodward : Architect and Artist in the World of by Chemical Heritage Foundation $45.00
Robert Burns Woodward was the star of 20th-century organic chemistry. An MIT graduate by age 19, Woodward's ingenious notions about organic synthesis and his artful methodology were astounding. He is most famed for his synthesis of vitamin B12,which he undertook with Albert Eschenmoser, and for the orbital symmetry rules he developed with Roald Hoffmann. This volume presents...
Guidebook to organic synthesis by Longman
Emphasises the basic principles of the subject. The first ten chapters lay the ground work for carbon-carbon bond formation, functional group transformations, etc. with detailed additions which reflect new work. The remaining chapters on boron, phosphorus and silicon reagents, and selected syntheses have undergone extensive revisions. Chapters on selenium reagents and asymmetric synethesis are...
Organic spectroscopy by Wiley
This introduction to the application of spectroscopic techniques in organic chemistry presupposes very little foreknowledge in the reader and begins at a level suitable for the early student. The main body of each chapter is supplemented by work on more recondite and recent work in the field.;Chapter 1 takes a look at the electromagnetic spectrum, and introduces the unifying relationship between...
Why Poison Ourselves?: A Precautionary Approach to Synthetic Chemicals (Worldwatch paper) by Worldwatch Inst $9.95
But regulations alone will not rid the chemical industry of its tendency to produce "Persistent Organic Pollutants" also known as POPs. synthetic poisons that are extremely stable and that tend to accumulate in living things. This paper argues for a complementary approach based on the precautionary principle-the idea that unnecessary environmental risk should be avoided. In each of the three...
Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Drugs of Abuse and Neurotoxicity, Annual of The NY Academy of Science: Cocaine, GHB, and Substituted Amphetamines (Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences) by Sayed Ali $154.95
Methamphetamine, MDMA, cocaine, PMA , GHB, and various solvents are the most widely abused drugs in Europe, the United States, Central America, South America, and Asia; and their use has dramatically increased over the last two decades. These drugs of abuse are known to cause neurotoxicity in several species, including not only rodents, dogs, and nonhuman primates, but also humans. The precise...
