E-Book Overview
Phenols are present in a wide variety of natural products. They serve as anti-oxidants, synthetic intermediates, are acidic, form polymers and hydrogen bonds, and undergo a wide variety of reactions. This volume covers all aspects of phenol chemistry, fromn general and theoretical aspects, structural chemistry, MS, NMR, IR/UV to synthetic aspects in vitro and vivo.
