Synopsis

With this book's uniquely practical organization by type of mechanism, you can help your students better understand and organize many reactions, and at the same time, form a more coherent picture of organic chemistry. Without going into mechanistic details and subtleties that would confuse students, Hornback uses mechanisms simply as an organizing framework. Presenting all the reactions that fall under a particular mechanism helps your students think conceptually about similarities and differences in groups of reactions and greatly enhances their ability to remember individual reactions.
