Publisher's Synopsis
This present volume, the 21st in the series, surveys research on organic reaction mechanisms described in the literature dated December 1984 to November 1985. To limit the size of the volume, it is necessary to exclude overlap with other publications which review specialit areas (eg photochemical reactions, biosynthesis, electrochemistry, organometallic chemistry, surface chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis). In order to minimize duplication, while ensuring a comprehensive coverage, the editors have conducted a survey of all relevant literature and allocated publications to appropriate chapters. while a particular reference may be allocated to more than one chapter, it is assumed that readers will be aware of the alternative chapters to which a borderline topic of interest may have been preferentially assigned.
