Organonitrogen Chemistry

This book introduces an undergraduate reader to the wealth of fascinating organic chemistry involving nitrogen. There are three main sections to the book! each being introduced by a summary of the underlying chemical principles. The main organonitrogen functional groups are covered systematically! each chapter concluding with a brief summary of the chemistry. Klappentext This primer provides a much needed introduction to organionitrogen chemistry. Nitrogen plays a key role in all areas of organic chemistry! from DNA and proteins through pharmaceuticals to man-made drugs and new material. Despite this large application! there are just a few key principles which underpin the chemistry. This concise primer covers these principles in a discussion of all the main organonitrogen functional groups. It develops the themes logically under three specific sections! providing a clear overview of the synthesis! reactions and properties of organonitrogen compounds.
