Book Reviews Carbon-13 NMR Shift Assignments of Amines and Alkaloids. By Maurice Shamma
and David M. Hindenlang.
Plenum Press, New York, 1979. 303 pages. $29.50.
This volume is devoted entirely to the presentation of carbon-13 shift data for 687 compounds. Most of these are alkaloids, but a number of simpler nitrogen heterocycles which serve as models.for the alkaloids are also included. Each compound is represented by a structural formula with the numerical value of the shift for each carbon atom entered adjacent to the atomic position in the formula. More than 150 literature references, for which the data were compiled, are listed. Although there is no discussion of structural or substituent effects on the shifts, the mere compilation, in a scheme based on type of compound, of the large amount of information represented here constitutes a very useful contribution by the authors. W.S.B. Specialist Periodical Reports. Electron Spin Resonance, Vol. 5, P. B. Ayscough,
Senior Reporter. The Chemical Society, London,
1979.378 pages. $77.00; f30.00.
Literature published between December 1976 and May 1978 is covered by the fifth volume in this series. The lead-off article, by P. J. Hore, C. G. Joslin, and K. A. McLauchlan, is a critical and extensive treatment of the developing field of chemically induced dynamic electron polarization. One must look in the section on Transition-Metal Ions to find some account of the interesting work on electron spin echoes. A separate chapter is now devoted to the use of spin probes although most of this material concerns new applications rather than new techniques. Chapters appearing in Volume 4 which have not been included are those on Relaxation, Lineshapes, and Polarization, and on Radical Ion, Ion Pairs, and Dynamic Processes. As these changes indicate, an increasing fraction of the literature in this field is concerned with the description of the results for new chemical systems, including those of biomedical interest, rather than with the development of new techniques or principles.
