This volume of covers the syntheses of organosulfur, -selenium, and -tellurium compounds of all oxidation states, having at least one sp3-carbon¾chalcogen bond, where the carbon may form part of an alkyl, allyl, or benzyl group.
Since the variety of structures of compounds covered in this volume is extremely wide, not all the possible groups of compounds are covered, but, in general, only those that are stable, versatile, and synthetically important. The major focus of this volume is on reviewing the synthetic procedures of each class or subclass of compounds, but selected applications to synthetic reactions are also included in some cases after their preparative methods.
