Azolides in Organic Synthesis and Biochemistry by Heinz A. Staab

H. A. Staab, H. Bauer and K. M. Schneider Azolides in Organic Synthesis and Biochemistry In the late fifties and early sixties H. A. Staab discovered N.N’-carbonyl-diimidazole (CDI), its analogues, and the family of azolides derived from them. Soon these compounds became widely appreciated as synthetic building blocks of unsurpassed diversity. Now, H. A. Staab, the "father" of these useful compounds, together with his co-authors H. Bauer and K. M. Schneider, has gathered their preparation, properties, and applications in a comprehensive and topical overview. Are you in the field of synthesis of natural products, biomolecules, heterocycles, or other complicated organic compounds? Then, your first glance might well be into "Staab" — this book should always be within reach of your desk or lab bench.
