Cumulenes in Click Reactions

Cumulenes are organic molecules with two or more cumulative
(consecutive) double bonds. Their reactions often proceed at room
temperature, with or without a catalyst, and are stereospecific,
giving the reaction products in high yields - features
characteristic of "click reactions".

Cumulenes in Click Reactions presents a
comprehensive list of cumulene systems and their reactions, with an
emphasis on their "click-like" nature. The chapters are
structured according to the number of carbon atoms in the system,
including coverage of:

• introduction to the chemistry of cumulenes

• one-carbon cumulenes: sulfines, sulfenes, thiocarbonyl
  S-imides, thiocarbonyl S-sulfides, and 1-aza-2-azoniaallene
  salts

• two-carbon cumulenes: carbon oxides, carbon sulfides, carbon
  nitrides (isocyanates, isothiocyanates, and carbodiimides),
  phosphaallenes, and diarsaallenes

• 1,2-dicarbon cumulenes: ketenes, thioketenes, ketenimines,
  1-silaallenes, 1-phosphaallenes, and other metal allenes

• 1,3-dicarbon cumulenes: thiocarbonyl S-ylides, 2-azaallenium
  salts, 1-oxa-3-azoniabutatriene salts, 1-thia-3-azoniabutatriene
  salts, and phosphorous ylides

• 1,2,3-tricarbon cumulenes: allenes, butatrienes, higher
  cumulenes and heterobutatrienes

• noncarbon cumulenes: azides, triazaallenium salts, sulfur
  oxides, sulfur nitrides, N-sulfinylamines, sulfurdiimides, and
  dithionitronium cation

Cumulenes in Click Reactionsis an essential guide for
researchers and advanced students in academia and research working
in synthetic organic, inorganic and bioorganic chemistry.

Autorentext

Dr Henri Ulrich is well known as an outstanding expert in heterocumulene chemistry in general, in particular dealing with isocyanates and carbodiimides. He is also well known for his important contributions to polymer chemistry, in particular from an industrial point of view. Coming from industry his work is focused on synthetic chemistry and practical applications rather than theoretical considerations.
