Synopsis

This book is designed for those who have had no more than a brief introduction to organic chemistry and who require a broad understanding of the subject. The book is in two parts. In Part I, reaction mechanism is set in its wider context of the basic principles and concepts that underlie chemical reactions: chemical thermodynamics, structural theory, theories of reaction kinetics, mechanism itself and stereochemistry. In Part II these principles and concepts are applied to the formation of particular types of bonds, groupings, and compounds. The final chapter in Part II describes the planning and detailed execution of the multi-step syntheses of several complex, naturally occurring compounds.

About this title

Review:

It is an absolute `must' for the reading list of all teachers of organic chemistry and I am sure it will become included in the reading lists of their students. - Nature; A very good book which is likely to become extremely popular. Organic chemists at all levels of training and experience will find it to be a worthwhile acquisition. - Chemistry & Industry; This is a very good book and the treatment of organic chemistry is much wider than the title indicates. - Endeavour; I recommend it as a general text for students...the authors have produced a clear, modern text which covers an enormous amount of chemistry... - Education in Chemistry; Since its first publication in 1968, this book has become virtually th de facto textbook for organic synthesis in UK universities...This third edition brings the content up to date with recent developments in organic synthesis, and will ensure a continued use as a standard undergraduate text. - Chemistry in Britain; This third edition brings the content up to date with recent developments in organic synthesis, and will ensure its continued use as a standard undergraduate text. |oChemistry in Britain |dJune 1994
