Volume Editor’s Preface
Thisvolume of Scienceof Synthesis is concernedwith thechemistry of nitrogenfunc-
tionalities bonded to sp3-hybridized carbon atoms of alkyl groups or, in some cases, to
sp2-hybridizedcarbonatomsofaryl,vinyl,oracylgroups.Themethodstopreparethecor-
responding compounds withsuchnitrogenfunctionalities areveryimportantandmani-
fold,andthuscannotbesummarizedinonevolumealone.Therefore,amines,ammonium
salts, haloamines, hydroxylamines, hydrazines, triazanes, and tetrazanes are covered in
Volume 40 of Science of Synthesis, whereas nitro-, nitroso-, and azidoalkanes, N-nitro-
andN-nitrosoamines,azo,azoxy,andaliphaticdiazoniumcompounds,alkyltriazenesand
-tetrazenes,andN,N-dihaloaminesarediscussed inVolume41.Severalrepresentativesof
theseproductclasseshavebeenknownformorethan100years.Inrecentyears,however,
new methods of synthesis or significant improvements to known reactions have been
reported for all product classes covered in Volume 41. Thus, this volume, like all other
volumesofScienceofSynthesis,willhelpresearchchemists inindustryandacademia
tounderstandandcreativelyapplytheextensiveknowledgeintheareaoforganicsynthesis.
