The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Isoxazoles (Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds: A Series Of Monographs) (Part 1, Volume 49)

This is Part 1 of a projected sub-series on isoxazoles and is devoted to mono-nuclear isoxazoles and to their dihydro- and tetrahydro-derivatives. Each chapter represents a survey on physical properties, syntheses and reactions of the three classes of compounds. The book collects data and references up to the end of 1984 and readers can find a critical survey of the chemistry of monocyclic isoxazoles, isoxazolines and isoxazolidines, covering all relevant spectroscopic and other physical properties, including methods of preparation and all reactions of some importance. Special emphasis has been laid on the increasing popularity of isoxazoles as key intermediates in the synthesis of complex molecules.
