Metal Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions and More, 3 Volume Set

This is the follow-up handbook to the bestselling Metal-Catalyzed Cross Coupling Reactions, the definitive reference in the field. In line with the enormous developments in this area, this is not so much a new edition, but rather a new book in three volumes with over 50% more content. This new content includes C-H activation, shifting the focus away from typical cross-coupling reactions, while those topics and chapters found in Diederich/de Meijere's book have been updated and expanded.

With its highly experienced editor team and the authors reading like an international Who's-Who in the field, this handbook is of great interest to every synthetic chemist working in academia and industry.

Armin de Meijere became Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Hamburg in 1977, and took up the same chair at the University of G?ttingen in 1989. Since 2006 he is emeritus professor of the University of G?ttingen.
Armin de Meijere has been visiting professor at universities in the USA, Israel, Italy, France, as well as at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. He was elected a member of the Norwegian Academy of Sciences and Letters in 1992, and in 1996 received the Alexander von Humboldt-Gay Lussac Prize of the French Ministry for Higher Education and Research. In 1997 he was elected member of the Braunschweigische Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft, and as an Honorary Professor of the St. Petersburg State University, Russia.
He is editor or member of the Editorial Board for a number of scientific journals, periodicals and books, while his own achievements have been published in over 520 publications.

Stefan Br?se was born in Kiel, Germany, in 1967 and studied chemistry in G?ttingen, Bangor (UK) and Marseille (France). In 1995, he obtained his doctorate after working with Armin de Meijere at the University of G?ttingen. After post-doctoral appointments at Uppsala University, Sweden (J.-E. B?ckvall) and The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, USA (K. C. Nicolaou), he began his independent research career at the RWTH Aachen associated with Dieter Enders in1997 and finished his habilitation in 2001. He became Professor at the University of Bonn that same year. Since 2003, he is Full Professor at the University of Karlsruhe - in October 2009 renamed to the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Stefan Br?se has published more than 100 publications and is recipient of the ORCHEM award in 2000. His research interests include methods in drug-discovery (including drug delivery), combinatorial chemistry towards the synthesis of biologically active compounds, total synthesis of natural products and nanotechnology.

Martin Oestreich is received his PhD with Prof. Hoppe in 1999. After a postdoc in the group of L. Overman he started his independant research in 2006 and is now full professor at the university in Muenster. He received the ORCHEM award in 2006 and the ADUC award in 2005. His research interests are Transition Metal-Catalyzed Carbon?Element Bond Forming Processes, C-H Bond Activation and Silicon Chemistry.
