Aufbau von komplizierten Strukturen durch eine Reaktion - ein Traum, der durch eine Domino Reaktion möglich gemacht werden kann. Während einer Domino Reaktion werden mehrere Bindungen in einem Schritt ohne Isolierung und Reinigung von Zwischenstufen geknÃ1/4pft, so daß komplexe MolekÃ1/4le durch eine wesentlich geringeren Aufwand synthetisiert werden können. In den letzten Jahren hat sich dieses hochaktuelle Gebiet rasant entwickelt.
Professor Tietze, ein ausgewiesener und international bekannter Fachmann auf diesem expandierenden Gebiet, fasst in diesem Buch die Möglichkeiten dieses Reaktionstyps und die aktuellen Entwicklungen zusammen. Mit diesem Buch hat jeder Leser eine umfassende und sehr gute Ãœbersicht Ã1/4ber dieses spannende Gebiet der organischen Synthese, welches heute zum Standardwissen eines jeden Organikers gehören sollte.
About the Author: Lutz F. Tietze studied chemistry at the universities of Freiburg and Kiel, Germany and obtained his doctorate under the supervision of Prof. B. Franck in 1968. He then worked as a research associate with Prof. G. BÃ1/4chi at MIT, Cambridge, USA, as well as with Prof. A. Battersby in Cambridge, UK. Since 1978 he has been Professor and Head of the Institute of Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry at the Georg-August-University in Göttingen. His research focuses on the development of efficient and selective synthetic methods, combinatorial chemistry, the total synthesis of natural products and the design of new selective anticancer agents.
Professor Tietze has been awarded several prizes, including the award for his book on Reactions and Syntheses by the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie, the Grignard-Wittig Prize of the SociÃ(c)tÃ(c) Française de Chimie and the highly prestigious Emil Fischer Medal of the German Chemical Society. He is President of the German Zentralverband der Chemie and a member of the Council of the German Research Association. He has over 360 papers, 31 patents and three books to his name.

Gordon Brasche, born in 1976 in Wernigerode, Germany, studied chemistry at the University of Göttingen, gaining his diploma and doctorate under the supervision of Prof. Tietze with a thesis on the synthesis of new highly active analogous of spinosynes. During his doctorate he worked as a teaching assistant for medical and advanced organic chemistry students.

Kersten Matthias Gericke, born in 1976 in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, studied chemistry at the University of Göttingen. He gained his diploma and doctorate under Prof. Tietze, achieving several total syntheses of biological highly potent anthraquinone antibiotics. He also was a teaching assistant for medical and advanced organic chemistry students.
