Organic Reaction Mechanisms

Organic Reaction Mechanisms 2018, the 54th annual volume in this highly successful and unique series, surveys research on organic reaction mechanisms described in the available literature dated 2018. The following classes of organic reaction mechanisms are comprehensively reviewed:

Intended for students of intermediate organic chemistry, this text shows how to write a reasonable mechanism for an organic chemical transformation. The discussion is organized by types of mechanisms and the conditions under which the reaction is executed, rather than by the overall reaction as is the case in most textbooks. The treatment emphasizes unifying principles, showing how common mechanisms link seemingly disparate reactions.
