Activated Alkynes in Heterocyclic Chemistry

Important aspects of modern organic synthesis such as atom economy, organo- and supramolecular catalysis, metal-mediated reactions, mechanisms and processes selectivity, green chemistry approaches and microwave assistance are discussed in the context of multicomponent assembling of heterocycles from activated alkynes. Applications in medicinal chemistry and material sciences for heterocyclic products achieved using cascade reactions above will be demonstrated. The book will be of interest to specialists and grad students in organic and element organic chemistry, coordination and biological chemistry and will stimulate discussions and further investigations in this area of chemistry.
