scope:

Numerous articles have been published on cholorosulfonyl isocyanate (CSI), but no book compiling research on this versatile reagent has been available up to now. This book fills that gap. It provides an overview of the research on CSI, including information about commercially exploitable patented products involving the use of CSI.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part outlines the reactions of CSI with a wide variety of substrates. The second part outlines the applications of CSI in the preparation of useful products. These applications are classified as: herbicides, pesticides, and insecticides; antiviral and anticancer compounds; biologically active compounds; antibiotics; and miscellaneous compounds.

The Chemistry of Chlorosulfonyl Isocyanate is an important book that should serve as a one-stop ready reference for researchers interested in the study of CSI.
