Principles of Organic Reaction Mechanism

Description

“Principles of Organic Reaction Mechanism” shows readers how to interpret the experimental data obtained from an organic reaction, and specifically how an organic reaction mechanism can be considered or rejected based on the analysis of the experimental evidence. Examining a series of selected examples of mechanisms, It focuses on real cases and discusses them in detail, following the same methodology: introduction, experimental data and discussion. Solved problems in Organic Reaction Mechanisms has been added, to enable students evaluate their understanding of the topic. The examples are arranged to elucidate key aspects of organic reaction mechanisms. The authors employ all the types of information that the authors of the original work considered useful and necessary, including kinetic and thermodynamic data, isotopic labelling and organic reactivity. This book, written for graduate and post-graduate chemistry students, provides an extensive coverage of various organic reactions, rearrangements and reagents, with emphasis on their applications in organic synthesis.
