Quinone methides have cationic and anionic centers, providing an advantageous ability to react with both nucleophiles and electrophiles. These reactive intermediates are of particular interest and have found wide applications in organic synthesis. Featuring contributions from world-renowned leaders in the field, Reactive Intermediates in Chemistry and Biology covers a broad range of topics, including theoretical treatment, generation and detection of the intermediates, characterization, and applications in chemistry and biochemistry (including biological reactivity) that will appeal to graduat.
