A comprehensive systematization of current novel data in nitrile oxide chemistry, this book authoritatively covers systematic strategies currently used in the preparation and utilization of nitrile oxides, nitrones, and nitronates in organic synthesis. It covers factors governing their stability and includes in-depth information on stable and unstable nitrile oxides. With contributions from leading experts, this is a definitive reference for practicing professionals in organic or medicinal chemistry and an excellent text for students studying organic synthesis.

Henry Feuer received his PhD from the University of Vienna in 1936 and became a research associate at Purdue University in l943. He retired as professor emeritus of organic chemistry at Purdue in 1979.
In l981, Dr. Feuer became managing editor of the Organic Nitro Chemistry Series at Verlag Chemie International.
