About this title

Synopsis

Hardbound. This volume has its core aspects of the chemistry of pyrrole and pyridine, plus their benzo derivatives and reduced forms. It begins with surveys of the natural occurrence, characterization and synthesis of pyrrolidine and pyrrolizidine alkaloids and progresses on to consider the structures of the new indole alkaloids identified since 1985. Alkaloids of the tropane type and those from plants of the Amaryllidacea family are surveyed next, and a skillfully crafted review of recent work in the porphyrin series is also featured.In the last two chapters the emphasis changes slightly and a significant contribution is a discussion of chemistry of the cyanine dyestuffs and that of their allies.

Review

1996 This new Volume of "Rodd" continues to be a major service to organic chemistry... The chapters are uniformly well written...they should be standard component of any good organic chemical library. -- Philip D. Magnus, Journal of the Americal Chemical Society

1998 This second supplement volume to the second edition of Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds completes the update of five–membered monoheterocyclic compounds, published in a first supplement in 1985, and reviews alkaloids, dyes, and pigments.... Each chapter provides a thorough, well–written review with key literature citations provided throughout the text. References to reviews that have appeared since the publication to the first supplement appear in the introduction to each chapter, and an extensive subject index can be found at the back of the volume. Organic and natural product chemists interested in the structure, properties, and synthesis of alkaloids should find considerable use for this volume. Institutional library acquisition of this, and all other volumes of the series of Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, is high recommended. -- Arnold Martin, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
