Chemistry and Technology of Carbodiimides

Carbodiimides are molecules containing the functional group N=C=N. They play an important role as condensation agents in the synthesis of polypeptides, polynucleotides, polysaccharides and numerous other chemical transformations. Carbodiimides also act as “zero–length” crosslinkers for proteins. In industry, applications include the stabilization of the major global diisocyanate MDI, polyester based polymers and herbicides. Metal substituted carbodiimides are used as precursors for ceramic materials, while sulfonylcarbodiimides are used as precursors for antidiabetic drugs and herbicides.
Chemistry and Technology of Carbodiimides highlights the synthesis, reactions and industrial importance of this important class of chemicals, including:
alkyl and arylcarbodiimidesunsaturated carbodiimideshalogenated carbodiimidesacyl–, thioacyl– and imidoylcarbodiimidessilicon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and metal substituted carbodiimidescyclic carbodiimidespolymeric carbodiimidesapplications in organic synthesisbiological applications, including antibiotic synthesis, protein and DNA synthesis, modifications of proteins, crosslinking of proteins, and pharmaceutical, herbicide and pesticide applicationspolymer and industrial applications, including polymer synthesis and modification, carbodiimides as stabilizers, carbodiimides in dye applications, and other applications
Chemistry and Technology of Carbodiimides is an essential guide for researchers and advanced students in academia and research working in synthetic organic and bioorganic chemistry, drug discovery and materials.

Nota biograficzna:
Dr. Henri Ulrich
Dr. 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.
