    • Inglés
    Annual Reports in Inorganic and General Syntheses-1976 presents an annual review of synthetically useful information that would prove beneficial to nearly all organic chemists, both specialist and nonspecialist in synthesis. It should help relieve some of the information storage burden of the specialist and should aid the nonspecialist who is seeking help with a specific problem to become rapidly aware of recent synthetic advances. This is the fifth volume of ARIGS and is organized along the lines developed for the preceding volumes. The authors were encouraged to use synthetic aspects as their primary guideline for the arrangement and preservation of the information. An occasional deviation to include structural or mechanistic features seemed to be justified in order to reflect particular characteristics of a given element's chemistry. Complex hydrides of the groups IA-IIIA are dealt with in a special chapter rather than described under the particular elements. As in previous issues of ARIGS, this volume again presents contributions of timely subjects of special interest. This year's special features are "Recent Advances in S-N-Inorganic Heterocycles" and "Synthesis and Properties of Optically Active Organotin Compounds."

    Annual Reports in Organic Synthesis—1981 presents an annual review of synthetically useful information that would prove beneficial to nearly all organic chemists, both specialist and nonspecialist in synthesis. It should help relieve some of the information storage burden of the specialist and should aid the nonspecialist who is seeking help with a specific problem to become rapidly aware of recent synthetic advances. In producing this volume the editors abstracted 48 primary chemistry journals, selecting useful synthetic advances. All reactions and methods which are new, synthetically useful, and reasonably general are included. Each entry is comprised primarily of structures accompanied by very few comments. The purpose of this is to aid the reader in rapidly scanning the book. Chapters I-III are organized by reaction type and constitute the major part of the book. Chapter IV deals with methods of synthesizing heterocyclic systems. Chapter V covers the use of new protecting groups. Chapter VI is divided into three main parts and covers those synthetically useful transformations that do not fit easily into the first three chapters. The first part deals only with functional group synthesis. The second part covers ring expansion and contraction, and the third part involves useful multistep sequences.

    Plasma Chemistry is a collection of papers dealing with chemi-ionization kinetics, elementary chemical processes, kinetics in a non-equilibrium orquasi-equilibrium plasma, and heterogeneous reactions in plasmas of moderate pressure. Several papers discuss spectrometric plasma diagnostics, organic syntheses under plasma conditions, and the survival of plasma chemistry. One paper reviews chemi-ionization reactions, including reactions involving an electronically excited collision partner in which Penning ionization comparisons can be made. The paper also shows that observations made on noble gas metastables do not in apply to reactions of other species. Another paper analyzes the mechanism of plasma chemical reactions occurring under electron impact and through electronic-vibration... excited states. In these states, mutual influence of vibrational relaxation and dissociation becomes significant under low temperature plasma conditions. One paper discusses plasma techniques that have been applied to carry out various types of isomerizations or eliminations with high yields. The paper also shows the possibility of generating reactive species (atoms, radicals, carbenes) by these methods. The collection can prove useful for researchers, technicians, or scientists whose works involve organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and other related fields of chemistry, such as physical chemistry and inorganic chemistry.

    Amine Oxidases in Clinical Research discusses the functions of amine oxidases in the rapid development of medical and biological research. Composed of 13 chapters, the book focuses on amine oxidases, including their key role in the metabolism of biogenic amines and other nitrogenous compounds in diseases and human health. The book considers primarily the enzymes denoted as EC 1.4.3.4 (flavin amine oxidases or monoamine oxidases) and EC 1.4.3.6 (copper-containing amine oxidase or diamine oxidases). To measure the estimates of amine oxidase activity, several methods and a number of requirements are presented. A description of the distribution and intracellular localization of amine oxidase follows. The methods of isolation and purification of amine oxides from different sources and the results of these various methods are explained. The text also considers the properties of the purified amine oxidases: the different methods of isolation and purification; storage conditions; and analytical techniques. Care is given when examining amine oxidases, because these may exhibit considerable differences in substrate specificity even if their physicochemical properties are similar. Inhibition of amine oxidase activity by unspecific and specific inhibitions is further discussed, including the biological functions and known effects of hormones on the biosynthesis and catabolism of the amine oxidase. Finally, the possible pathogenetic and/or diagnostic significance of the amine oxidases, as well as the corrective approaches seen in pathological conditions and in clinical medicine, are explained. Written as a handbook for the medically oriented investigators, biologists, and medical and chemical researchers, this book will prove a handy reference.
