Synopsis

After four editions, it's still the reference students and professionals count on. Advanced Organic Chemistry Fourth Edition Only one reference has brought consistently incisive, up-to date, and comprehensive coverage of the most useful reactions in organic chemistry directly to the fingertips of both students and professionals: Advanced Organic Chemistry. Organized by reaction type, a feature that makes clear the basic principles underlying the nearly 580 reactions described, Advanced Organic Chemistry offers instant access to each reaction's scope, limitations, and mechanisms. Balancing timely detail and informative breadth, this new updated Fourth Edition:

• Describes the structure of organic compounds, including chemical bonding and stereochemistry
• Reviews general reaction mechanisms, including ordinary reactions and photochemical reactions
• Includes a survey of reactions, arranged by reaction type and by which bonds are broken and formed
• Includes IUPAC's newest system for designating reaction mechanisms
• Features an index to the methods used for preparing given types of compounds
• Contains more than 15,000 references-5,000 new to this edition-to original papers

About this title

Reviews from the previous edition:

"This fourth edition of a popular book first published in 1968 is welcome indeed. I suspect that I am not alone in keeping a copy near my desk, so that when I develop a sudden interest in some topic, I can obtain a summary of nearly current knowledge and a list of reading references immediately. The information of ratio to price makes this book a wonderful bargain." --American Scientist

"March has been uncompromising in his search for clarity and utility in presentations of a wide variety of essential organic chemistry. It remains an accessible and useful tool for both specialists and non-specialists in the field. It does an excellent job both as a text for first-year graduate students and a handy reference for others." --Journal of Chemical Education
