The purpose of this book is to provide academic and industrial chemists with significant
advances in current chemical research in 46 subject areas as reported in the US Patent
literature. This objective is best achieved using four inter-connected components. First,
chemical reactions necessary to achieve the inventor’s stated goal are depicted for
each patent. All structural transformations, reagents, chemical intermediates, as well as
experimental conditions have been supplied. Second, chemical agents have been classified
by both their Functional Group Type and Product Utility. For example, water soluble
fullerenes derivatives are classified as ‘Acids and Derivatives’ under Functional Group Type
and as ‘Pharmaceuticals, Virucides’ under the Product Utility designation. Third, explicit
laboratory procedures for synthesizing targeted compounds, intermediates, and derivatives
have been provided to assist in the preparation, isolation, characterization, and assaying of
chemical agents of interests. Where available, relevant prior art US Patent references are
incorporated throughout the text which are assessable from the US Patent and Trademark
Office database (www.uspto.gov). Finally, individual Reagent, Product, and Name Reaction
indices are incorporated to more efficiently access required information.
