Classics in Spectroscopy: Isolation and Structure Elucidation of Natural Products

About this book:
– Six chapters describe 30 natural products with their isolation and full spectroscopic details: Alkaloids/Aromatic Compounds/Dyestuffs/Carbohydrates/Terpenoids/Miscellaneous
– A background tells stories of the history and culture of each compound and its natural source.
– All chemical isolations are explained as principles of action and given as methods with full descriptions.
– The full set of UV, CD, IR, 1H–NMR, 13C–NMR, COSY, NOESY,
HSQC, HMBC and mass spectra are depicted and discussed in detail.
Taken from the Endorsement by DIETER SEEBACH:
... Thus, this unusual book is a combination of many: a laboratory–course book, a spectroscopy text, a contribution of the history of natural products, of chemistry, and of plant biology, and even a lab book all in one – The book is a scholarly masterpiece, didactically perfect, with beautiful colour pictures and graphic arts. Besides its practical importance for students and young chemical scientists, the book is a pleasure to read and can be used as a reference for the organic and biological chemist, indeed for any person interested in chemistry, life sciences, medicine, sociology, history and belles lettres.
