Naphthyridines, Volume 63 [Hardback]

Each volume in this series deals with the synthesis, reactions, properties, structure, physical chemistry, and utility of compounds belonging to a specific ring system or class. This is the first book in the series devoted in its entirety to the six pyridopyridine ring systems, the naphthyridines. It covers the last 80 years of the literature, up through 2007. Brown (chemistry, Australian National University) covers the first four naphthyridines in seven chapters each, and other naphthyridine systems are covered in single long chapters. The appendix tables list all simple naphthyridines, along with an indication of their physical properties, which have been reported through 2006.

A volume in the Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds series, this book provides a summary of the chemistry of each of the six naphthyridine systems along with tables of known simple derivatives with original references.
Each of the six naphthyridine systems are described in valuable detail and coverage includes: Primary synthetic methods from non-naphthyridine substrates; Chemistry and properties of the parent heterocycle and its simple alkyl derivatives; Formation and reactions of halogeno derivatives; formation and reactions of hydroxy, oxo, alkoxy, and related derivatives.
