Superbases for organic synthesis: guanidines, amidines, phosphazenes and related organocatalysts

First book dealing with the synthesis and chemistry of the superbases guanidines, amidines and phosphazenes; widely-used tools in preparative organic chemistry. This is a hot topic area because of superbases chemical properties, potential as catalysts, and derivation from sustainable biomaterial sources. This essential guide includes details of physical properties, biological roles, synthetic applications, appearance and synthesis as natural products, and use in medicinal chemistry. INDICE: Preface.
