The Chemistry of Organophosphorus Compounds, Volume 4

There are four volumes in this series on organophosphorus chemistry, a sub-series of Saul Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups series. Together the volumes provide comprehensive coverage of the entire organophosphorus area, which is critical to main-line organic chemistry in both academic and industrial circles. The general format of the material on organophosphorus chemistry follows that of the volumes in the Patai series, with commissioned chapters on the theoretical/structural aspects, stereochemistry, synthesis, photochemistry, spectroscopy and biochemistry. The Preparation and Properties of Tervalent Phosphorus AcidDerivatives (O. Dahl).

The Synthesis of Phosphonic and Phosphinic Acids and TheirDerivatives: Non-Functionalized Acids (R. Edmundson).

The Synthesis of Functionalized Phosphinic and Phosphonic Acids andTheir Derivatives.

Part A: Halo, Hydroxy, Epoxy, Mercapto, Carboxy and OxoFunctionalized Acids (R. Edmundson).

The Synthesis of Functionalized Phosphinic and Phosphonic Acids andTheir Derivatives.

Part B: Diazo, Nitro and Amino Functionalized Acids (R.Edmundson).

The Synthesis and Reactions of Thio-and Seleno-Phosphonic andPhosphinic Acids (R. Edmundson).
