Aziridines and epoxides are among the most widely used intermediates in organic synthesis, acting as precursors to complex molecules due to the strains incorporated in their skeletons. Besides their importance as reactive intermediates, many biologically active compounds also contain these three-membered rings. Filling a gap in the literature, this clearly structured book presents the much needed information in a compact and concise way. The renowned editor has succeeded in gathering together excellent authors to cover synthesis, applications, and the biological aspects in equal depth. Divided roughly equally between aziridines and epoxides, the twelve chapters discuss: * Synthesis of aziridines * Nucleophilic ring-opening of aziridines and epoxides * Organic synthesis with aziridine building blocks * Vinyl aziridines in organic synthesis * Diastereoselective aziridination reagents * Synthetic aspects of aziridinomitocene chemistry * Biosynthesis of biologically important aziridines * Organic catalysis of epoxide and aziridine ring formation * Metal-mediated synthesis of epoxides * Asymmetric epoxide ring opening chemistry * Epoxides in complex molecule synthesis * Biological activity of epoxide-containing molecules A high-quality reference manual for academic and industrial chemists alike.

The smallest possible saturated azaheterocycle, aziridine, is well-known to organic chemists for its tremendous potential in pharmaceutical chemistry and organic synthesis. The general biological importance of aziridines is proven by the fact that they found several uses as subunits in pharmacologically active compounds such as antitumor agents, enzyme inhibitors, and antibiotics. Although aziridines are highly reactive, this framework occurs in many synthetic compounds and the natural products of biological interest also contain aziridine skeleton in their structures. The synthetic community is captivated with prospects of selective synthesis and conversions of aziridines. Several important advances in this area have been witnessed in recent years and discovering efficient novel methods for the synthesis of aziridines has been very active field of research. Its powerful synthetic utility has been described by an overpowering amount of documentation on the approaches for the formation of aziridine. Synthesis of Aziridines and Oxaziridines from Imines describes the new and old methods for the synthesis of aziridines from imines and covers an important and rapidly growing branch of heterocyclic chemistry. Readers will have access to different methods and information allowing them to evaluate which method is most suitable for particular cases. - Focuses on the biological importance of different heterocycles - Describes traditional and innovative methods for the synthesis of aziridines from imines - Includes comparison amongst different methods, reagents, reaction conditions in tabulated forms, advantages, disadvantages, and critical analysis of different methodologies with respect to their comparison with green technique

This book opens with a discussion on the syntheses of acyclic polyketides by using epoxide opening reactions. The stereoselective epoxidations of allylic alcohols, including catalytic asymmetric epoxidation reactions and stereospecific reactions due to substrate-control, are described shortly. Afterwards, different epoxide opening reactions and applications in natural product synthesis are reviewed. The authors highlight the recent advances in catalytic one-pot synthesis of epoxides. The versatility of organometallic catalysts in epoxidation of alkenes are considered an important point of research in the context of these transformations. Later, occurrence of carotenoid 5,6-epoxides, their chemical synthesis, the separation of stereoisomers, some transformations of 5,6-epoxy-carotenoids, and their biological processes are described. Following this, the methodologies for the deoxygenation of epoxides using oxo-molybdenum and oxo-rhenium complexes as efficient catalysts are described, allowing a large community of readers, in particularly the community that works in catalysis, organic and organometallic chemistry, ready access to the novel methodologies developed.
