Publisher's Synopsis
Organic Reaction Mechanisms, Second Edition covers all aspects of organic reaction mechanisms i.e. chemical kinetics and reaction pathways including substitution, addition elimination, and electrophilic substitutions and describes in detail various aspects of the reaction intermediates like carbocations, caboanions, free radical, carbenes, nitrines, benzynes, ylides, and enamines. It also includes information on a large number of oxidizing agents, reducing agents, and common reagents like organometallic reagents. In addition, the book presents a comprehensive discussion on organic reactions, their mechanisms, and applications along with various rearrangement which are encountered in organic synthesis. New to this edition is a chapter on Pericyclic Reactions that examines cycloaddition, electrocyclic and sigmatropic reactions. This book will be of benefit to students, teachers, and research workers at all levels.
