The chemistry of phenols tends to be ignored in organic chemical
textbooks and to be lost amongst the many classes of functional
derivatives. This volume is not intended to provide a textbook
approach but rather to give an account of developments in phenol
chemistry in the last two decades.
Features of this book:
- Numerous phenolic systems have been covered in detail, e.g.
phenolic propanoids.
- The emphasis throughout has been on synthesis, on what can be
achieved by the use of phenolic intermediates and in the
construction of phenolic end products.
- Many chapters enable the reader to refer to the original
literature wherever possible.
- Various chapters provide a fund of tutorial material and
problems for undergraduate studies and further, which will
encourage perusal of the literature. Some 2000 references to
applied and academic papers are given.
Phenols are ubiquitous substances and now it is more widely
accepted that there are pros and cons connected with their usage.
The pros for compounds are well-known and are illustrated by
perennial panaceas such as aspirin, paracetamol, codeine, etc. The
cons are less obvious because they are also materials deeply
entrenched in our standard of living and in most cases inherent
hazards have only recently come to light. The book will be of
interest to postgraduate students in academic and industrial
work.
