This comprehensive handbook presents the full potential of modern acetylene chemistry, from organic synthesis through materials science to bioorganic chemistry. K. Houk, H. Hopf, P. Stang, K. M. Nicholas, N. Schore, M. Regitz, K. C. Nicolaou, R. Glei…

Carbon-carbon bond forming reactions are arguably the most important processes in chemistry, as they represent key steps in the building of complex molecules from simple precursors. Among these reactions, metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are …

Template-controlled reactions allow the synthesis of complex molecules which would hardly be achievable through classical methods. This handbook offers authoratative information on how noncovalent and covalent templates can be effectively applied to …
