Introduction by Prof. Ernst Schaumann and Prof. Dieter Enders (Volume Editors):
Within the coverage of compounds with one carbon—heteroatom bond (Category 5), the present volume of Science of Synthesis is the first to deal with the heteroatom nitrogen as an element of group 15 of the periodic table. Specifically, the chemistry of aliphatic amines and related organic nitrogen compounds with a formally sp3-hybridized nitrogen is covered and so another important field of organic synthesis is now included in the series.
Following the organizational hierarchy of Science of Synthesis, the emphasis is on the synthesis of amines and related organonitrogen compounds; synthetic applications of the products will be found in the other volumes of Science of Synthesis. However, the specific chemical and biological properties of amines and the related compounds make them attractive targets in themselves. In several examples the amine target is a natural product and so represents an amine in a more complex chemical environment.
