Oxidation-Reduction Mechanisms in Organic Chemistry

Searching for reaction in organic synthesis has been made much easier in the current age of computer databases. However, the dilemma now is which procedure one selects among the ocean of choices. Especially for novices in the laboratory, it becomes a daunting task to decide what reaction conditions to experiment with first in order to have the best chance of success. This collection intends to serve as an "older and wiser lab-mate" one could have by compiling many of the most commonly used experimental procedures in organic synthesis. With chapters that cover such topics as functional group manipulations, oxidation, reduction, and carbon-carbon bond formation, Modern Organic Synthesis in the Laboratory will be useful for both graduate students and professors in organic chemistry and medicinal chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.

A new phenomenon in the field of Sialon ceramics is reported which may lead to applications based on their optical or electronic properties in combination with their mechanical and thermal properties. For the first time a colored α′-Sialon ceramic has been synthesized, with relatively high optical transparency by careful control of the sintering atmosphere, and adding suitable rare earths as stabilizing cations. This compares with normal Sialons and silicon nitrides which are grey-black in color and are opaque. Oxidation/reduction mechanisms have been identified as an influence on the valence of the stabilizing cation, which is responsible for the unusual optical properties.
