Oxidation of C–H Bonds

Oxidation reactions are extremely important and belong to the most employed reactions in the chemical industry. Many reaction pathways (mechanisms), different reaction conditions, and corresponding oxidation reagents have been realized and established to make the oxidation of C H bonds more efficient and practical in organic synthesis.

Oxidation of C H Bonds combines oxidation methods and C H bond functionalization, two of the most important aspects of organic synthesis, in a unique guide for practicing chemists. Coverage includes early reactions, development and update examples of the functionalization of various C H bonds. Since many fundamental concepts about reactions, mechanisms, and synthesis strategies will be explained and discussed in the text, it is also very beneficial to chemistry students and those in need of a primer.

Featuring the perspectives and expertise of practicing chemical researchers, this book provides a valuable reference and resource for the organic chemistry community. Key benefits include:

          Offers a guide or manual to solve challenges of chemical transformation

          Deals with C H bonds, an area of dynamic and continuous research across chemistry and catalysis

          Helps readers understand the fundamental and applied differences among various oxidation methods and reactions
