Explore the most recent advancements and synthesis applications in redox chemistry

With a large number of applications in industrial settings, redox chemistry has emerged as a crucial research topic that covers many aspects of different methodologies in synthesis. In Organic Redox Chemistry: Chemical, Photochemical and Electrochemical Syntheses, accomplished researchers and editors Dr. Frederic W. Patureau and the late Dr. Jun-Ichi Yoshida deliver an insightful exploration of this rapidly developing topic.

Rather than divide its material into ionic, radical, and metal- or organocatalyzed transformations, this book highlights electron transfer processes in synthesis by using different ways to initiate them, allowing for a unique and different perspective in synthetic chemistry. Covering a wide array of the important and recent developments in the field, Organic Redox Chemistry compares chemical, photochemical, and electrochemical methods.

In addition to covering all significant aspects of organic redox chemistry, the book also includes coverage of:

• Thorough introductions to both chemical and electrochemical oxidative C-C bond formation
• Explorations of the fundamentals of photochemical redox reactions and C-H bond functionalization with chemical oxidants
• Practical discussions of electrochemical reductive transformations and redox-mediated polymer synthesis, as well as chemical paired transformations
• A concise treatment of photochemical paired transformations and paired electrolysis

Perfect for organic, catalytic, pharmaceutical, and medicinal chemists, Organic Redox Chemistry will also earn a place in the libraries of photochemists and electrochemists seeking a one-stop resource that compares the chemical, photochemical, and electrochemical methods for redox chemistry.

Jun-Ichi Yoshida is President of The Society of Synthetic Organic Chemistry in Japan and Professor at the Graduate School of Engineering at Kyoto University. His research focuses on integrated organic synthesis based on the control of reactive intermediates, organic electron-transfer reactions, organometallic reactions, and microreactors.
