Organic Chemistry of Aliphatic Nitrogen Compounds

In recent years there have been considerable advances in organonitrogen chemistry, and many important new reagents and synthetic methods have been developed. This volume is a comprehensive modern account of the organic chemistry of aliphatic nitrogen compounds. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction, followed by a detailed account of the preparation of the type of compound under consideration. Reactivity and reactions - including mechanistic aspects - are then discussed. All the main classes of compound, with the exception of amino acids, are included.Table of Content1: Amines. 2: Enamines and ynamines. 3: Imines. 4: Nitriles (cyanides). 5: N-oxides and nitrones. 6: Alkyl isonitriles (isocyanides). 7: Cyanates, isocyanates, thiocyanates, and isothiocyanates. 8: Amides, thiomides, and carbamates (urethanes). 9: Ureas, thioureas, carbodiimides. 10: Amidines. 11: Nitroalkanes and nitroalkenes. 12: N-Nitroso compounds : nitrosamines, nitrosamides, nitrosoureas, and nitrosourethanes. 13: Diazoalkanes. 14: Hydroxylamines. 15: Hydrazines. 16: Azo and azoxy compounds. 17: Azides. 18: Alkyl nitrates and nitrates. 19: Nitramines. 20: B-Amino alcohols. 21: Aziridines. 22: B-Lactams
