Carbanion Chemistry: Structures and Mechanisms

by Julian M. Dust, Erwin Buncel

Overview

Carbanions and other group 14 anions are fundamental reaction intermediates in organic chemistry and are central in mechanistic studies and in synthesis. This book describes their properties and structures, the conditions under which they form, and the factors that affect their thermodynamic and kinetic stability. Important chapters on the spectroscopy of these group 14 anions and on carbanion reactions catalyzed by heterogeneous solid basic catalysis are included.
