Deuterium: Discovery and Applications in Organic Chemistry provides a well-illustrated overview of the discovery of 2H or Heavy Hydrogen, the stable hydrogen isotope with both a proton and a neutron in its nucleus. The work introduces the isotope, its discovery, physical properties, nomenclature, and common compounds. It explores its application in organic chemistry in detail, through classic and recent examples from literature. Finally, the book devotes one chapter to Deuterium in medicinal chemistry and, notably, the biological effects of Deuterium Oxide (D2O).
- Unique coverage not found elsewhere; presented in an accessible, dedicated short work
- Practical information and examples on the use of Deuterium (D or 2H, Heavy Hydrogen) in organic synthesis
- Detailed description of Deuterium’s discovery and applications in the pharmaceutical industry
