  • Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances and Excipients

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 24
    • English
    Although the official compendia define a drug substance as to identity, purity, strength, and quality, they normally do not provide other physical or chemical data, nor do they list methods of synthesis or pathways of physical or biological degradation and metabolism. Such information is scattered throughout the scientific literature and the files of pharmaceutical laboratories. Edited by the Associate Director of Analytical Research and Development for the AmericanAssociation of Pharmaceutical Scientists, Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances and Excipients brings this information together into one source. The scope of the series has recently been expanded to include profiles of excipient materials.

  • Handbook of Infrared and Raman Spectra of Inorganic Compounds and Organic Salts, Four-Volume Set

    • 1st Edition
    • Richard A. Nyquist + 3 more
    • English
    This four-volume handbook presents unique data of infrared and Raman spectra that are extremely useful for the analysis of inorganic compounds and organic salts. The spectra charts as presented in the volumes may be used to facilitate spectra-structure identification of most compounds, while cross-indexing of data allows for easy comparison of infrared and Raman spectra of the same compound. This comprehensive four-volume set, based on the authors' extensive lifetime research, is an essential reference for industrial and academic researchers and their libraries. Analytical chemists, molecular spectroscopists, materials scientists (especially polymer scientists), chemical engineers, environmentalists, geologists, andothers involved in analyzing a wide range of inorganic compounds and organic salts will want to keep the Handbook within easy reach. This set is a"must"for pharmaceutical and chemical companies, as well as for industrial and academic libraries.

  • Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 66
    • English
    Established in 1960, Advances in Hetrocyclic Chemistry is the definitive serial in the area-one of great importance to organic chemists, polymer chemists, and many biological scientists.

  • Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry

    A Critical Review of the 1995 Literature Preceded by Two Chapters on Current Heterocyclic Topics
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 8
    • H. Suschitzky
    • English
    Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry (PHC) is an annual review series commissioned by the International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry (ISHC). The volumes in the series contain both highlights of the previous year's literature on heterocyclic chemistry and articles on new developing topics of interest to heterocyclic chemists. The highlight chapters in Volume 8 are all written by leading researchers in their field and these chapters constitute a systematic survey of the important original material reported in the literature on heterocyclic chemistry in 1995. The volume also contains an article on Geminal Diazides of Heterocycles and an article on Radical Methodologies for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds.As with previous volumes in the series, Volume 8 will enable academic and industrial chemists, and advanced students to keep abreast of developments in heterocyclic chemistry in an effortless way.

  • Synthetic and Natural Phenols

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 52
    • J.H.P. Tyman
    • English
    The chemistry of phenols tends to be ignored in organic chemical textbooks and to be lost amongst the many classes of functional derivatives. This volume is not intended to provide a textbook approach but rather to give an account of developments in phenol chemistry in the last two decades.Features of this book:• Numerous phenolic systems have been covered in detail, e.g. phenolic propanoids.• The emphasis throughout has been on synthesis, on what can be achieved by the use of phenolic intermediates and in the construction of phenolic end products.• Many chapters enable the reader to refer to the original literature wherever possible.• Various chapters provide a fund of tutorial material and problems for undergraduate studies and further, which will encourage perusal of the literature. Some 2000 references to applied and academic papers are given.Phenols are ubiquitous substances and now it is more widely accepted that there are pros and cons connected with their usage. The pros for compounds are well-known and are illustrated by perennial panaceas such as aspirin, paracetamol, codeine, etc. The cons are less obvious because they are also materials deeply entrenched in our standard of living and in most cases inherent hazards have only recently come to light. The book will be of interest to postgraduate students in academic and industrial work.

  • Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry

    A Practical Guide
    • 1st Edition
    • Fulton G. Kitson + 2 more
    • English
    This guide provides, under one cover, a wealth of practical information designed to facilitate the effectiveness of the GC/MS user. Separation conditions for numerous compound types are provided along with derivatized and underivatized compounds. A section on how to interpret mass spectral data, an extensive correlation of ion masses and neutral losses with possible structures, and examples of mass spectra are provided to further aid structure determination. Also included are basic information on instrumentation, ionization methods, quantitation, tips on the operation of mass spectrometers, the best derivatization procedures for a variety of compound types, troubleshooting techniques, and a variety of other information found to be useful to the practicing user of GC/MS instrumentation. This guide would be immediately valuable to the novice as well as the experienced GC/MS user who may not have the breadth of experience covered in this book.

  • Annual Reports in Organic Synthesis 1996

    • 1st Edition
    • English
    This handy reference tool is an organized annual review of synthetically useful information. It abstracts synthetic reactions from the major chemistry journals of the past year and includes reactions and methods thatare new and reasonably general. The reactions are presented in a convenient pictorial format designed for rapid visual retrieval of information. A comprehensive table of contents and a senior author index are included.The Journal of the American Chemical Society has aptly described this publication as an"aid to the harassed organic chemist who cannot keep up with the never-diminishing stream of new primary literature"and hails it"an outstandingly good buy."

  • Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Applications of Capillary Electrophoresis

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 2
    • S.M. Lunte + 1 more
    • English
    The book describes the theory and applications of Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) in the field of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis. It is targeted towards users who are intimately involved in analytical problems, especially those which involve small samples. This book presents the technique of capillary electrophoresis from the point of view of the serious hands-on use in the field of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis. An overview of general theory is presented to acquaint the novice with the fundamental principles. A more theoretical approach is taken in the presentation of electrokinetic chromatography. The next chapter discusses advances in column technologies, the preceding chapters having provided a foundation as to how separations occur. In the next three chapters, recognized experts in their fields present fundamentals and state-of-the-art techniques in the areas of optical, electrochemical and mass spectrometric detection. The major focus of the remaining chapters is on applications. This includes the analysis of pharmaceuticals, amino acids and peptides, macromolecules, nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides. The use of CE for analysis of small ions and separation of biological particles is also discussed. The issue of sample preparation for analysis by CE is addressed, especially as it relates to clinical analysis.
