Chemistry of 2-Oxoaldehydes and 2-Oxoacids

Chemistry of 2-Oxoaldehydes and 2-Oxoacids offers complete coverage on 2-oxoaldehydes and 2-oxoacid, which to date have not been covered in a comprehensive manner. Novel reactions related to 2-oxoaldehydes and 2-oxoacids on keto and aldehydic groups (both participating separately or in combination), decarboxylative reactions, spectral analysis and diverse applications are explored. The book is divided into two parts, with the first outlining methods for the preparation and physical properties of 2-Oxoaldehydes, along with the structure, spectral characteristics and reactivity of 2-Oxoaldehydes. The second part covers the preparation and physical properties of 2-Oxoacids and the synthesis of many related reactions. This book is essential reading for researchers working on these types of reactions in organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, natural product chemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry. - Covers various synthetic procedures for the synthesis of 2-Oxoaldehydes and 2-Oxoacids - Provides information about different types of reactions, such as C-H activation reactions, coupling reactions, decarboxylative reactions, and nucleophilic reactions for the synthesis of different biologically active compounds - Includes the use of 2-Oxoaldeehyde and 2-Oxoacid as the starting point for the synthesis of different synthons that can be used for various medicinally important compounds

Atul Kumar completed his BSc from G.G.M. Science College, Jammu, India, and his MSc from the University of Jammu, Jammu, India. After being awarded the CSIR-Junior Research Fellowship, he joined Dr. Qazi Naveed's research group at the CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine, Jammu. His doctoral work is mainly based on 'a-Carbonyl Assisted Unconventional Applications of 2-Oxoaldehydes & 2-Oxoesters and Medicinal Chemistry around Ciprofloxacin. He completed his PhD from the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Delhi in 2019. He also worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Department of Chemistry and Chemical Sciences, Central University of Jammu from 2019 to 2021. At present, he is working as an Institutional Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India. His research interest are the total synthesis of natural products, biologically active scaffolds, and development of novel synthetic transformations."
