Domino Reactions in Organic Synthesis

Domino reactions enable you to build complex structures in one-pot reactions without the need to isolate intermediates- a dream comes true. In this book, the well-respected expert, Professor Lutz Tietze, summarizes the possibilities of this reaction type - an approach for an efficiant, economically benificial and ecologicalbenign synthesis.A definite must for every organic chemist.

Lutz Tietze studied chemistry at the universities of Freiburg and Kiel, Germany, gaining his doctorate in 1968 under Prof. Franck. Between 1969 and 1974 he carried out research at MIT in the USA, and at the University of Cambridge, UK. In 1975 he gained his lecturing qualification at Mnnster University, taking up a chair at the University of Dortmund two years later. He has been Professor and Head of the Institute for Organic Chemistry at the Georg-August-University in G÷ttingen since 1978.<br> Professor Tietze has been awarded several prizes, including those of the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie, the Hoechst Karl-Winnacker Prize, the Grignard-Wittig Prize of the SociTtT Frantaise de Chimie, as well as a Fulbright and Liebig scholarship. He is a member of the SAIQO, Akademie der Wissenschaften, a Fellow of both the Japanese Society for the Promotion of the Sciences and the Royal Society of Chemistry, as well as President of the German Zentralverband der Chemie. He has been a member of the DFG-Fachkollegium (Council of the German Research Association) since 2004.<br> <br> Born in 1976 in Wernigerode, Germany, Gordon Brasche studied chemistry at the Georg-August-University G÷ttingen, gaining his diploma and doctorate under the supervision of Prof. Tietze. Following internships at Bayer AG in Leverkusen, Dr. Brasche became a teacher and supervisor of chemical courses for medicine students in 2001, a post he has since expanded to include basic and advanced organic chemistry for chemistry students.<br> <br> Kersten Matthias Gericke was born in 1976 in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, and gained both his diploma and doctorate at Georg-August University of G÷ttingen, under Prof. Tietze. Following an internship at Bayer AG, Leverkusen, he became a teacher and supervisor of chemistry courses for biology and medical students in 2001, expanding this to include basic and advanced organic chemistry for chemistry students.
