Best Synthetic Methods: Organophosphorus (V) Chemistry provides systematic coverage of the most common classes of pentavalent organophosphorus compounds and reagents (including phosphonyl, phosphoryl, and organophosphates), and allows researchers an easy point of entry into this complex and economically important field. The book follows the Best Synthetic Methods format, containing practical methods, synthetic tips, and shortcuts. Where relevant, articles include toxicity data and historical context for the reactions. Typical analytical and spectroscopic data are also presented to enable scientists to identify key compound characteristics.

The book is a valuable companion to research chemists in both academia and industry, summarizing the best practical methods (often originating in difficult-to-access, foreign-language primary literature) in one place. It is ideally suited for those working on industrial applications of these compounds, including insecticides, herbicides, flame retardants, and plasticizers.

Includes a mixture of tried and tested, historical methods that are proven to work, alongside new methods to provide scientists with a quick, time-saving resource of reliable methods
Includes tips and tricks to get reactions to work; important information often missing from other sources
Includes key analytical data for compounds, so scientists have one handy resource to select, perform, and analyze the best reaction

From the Back Cover:

ORGANOPHOSPHORUS (V) CHEMISTRY

Organophosphorus (V) chemistry provides researchers with an easy point of entry into the various practical methods used to form and transform organic compounds containing a phosphorus atom. Many methods are hidden in the literature or dispersed across publications in different languages, but are now brought together by experts in the field who have used them in their research.

The book follows the Best Synthetic Methods format, containing practical methods, synthetic tips and short-cuts to form pentavalent phosphorus compounds, including phosphonyl, phosphoryl and various organophosphate species containing one or more sulfur or selenium atoms. Where relevant, articles also include toxicity data and historical data. Typical analytical and spectroscopic data are presented to enable you to identify key compound characteristics.

Key features:

Includes a mixture of tried and tested, historical methods that are proven to work, with some new methods to provide scientists with a time-saving resource of reliable methods

Provides tips and tricks to get experiments to work and important information often missing from other sources

Presents key analytical data for compounds in one handy resource
