Features: This book summarizes the research progress of polynitrogen compounds and discusses related reaction issues. It provides detailed elaborations on the main reactions of azides and their derivatives, such as benzoxazoles, the application and mechanism of azides in hetero-Wittig reactions, triazoles, benzotriazoles, imidazole cycles, porphyrin derivatives, and indole alkaloids. It also discusses the organic reactions between nitrogen-containing compounds and Fullerene［60］ and their progress. The book offers an in-depth description of the structural characteristics and related reactions of bioactive molecules such as NADH (NADPH) and their model molecules, as well as introduces biophotchemical topics like NADPH and photosynthesis, and visual photchemistry. Chiral synthesis, a frontier in organic reactions, is thoroughly discussed in the book, covering important methods for the chiral synthesis and asymmetric synthesis of nitrogen-containing compounds. The book also elaborates on important theoretical issues in organic reactions, including solvent effects, various new reaction media, phase-transfer catalysis and its new methods, and the role of polarity conversion. This book is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and researchers in the fields of organic chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, material chemistry, fine chemical engineering, and bioengineering.
