Organic Chemistry: 100 Must-Know Mechanisms


Book Description

This book summarizes 100 essential mechanisms in organic chemistry ranging from classical such as the Reformatsky Reaction from 1887 to recently elucidated mechanism such as the copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition. The reactions are easy to grasp, well-illustrated and underpinned with explanations and additional information.




A Primer to Mechanism in Organic Chemistry


Book Description

"This book marks a significantly different approach to the subject. It has been designed specifically to offer a simpler and less sophisticated treatment of organic reaction mechanisms than that to be found in the Guidebook. It is based on three underlying principles: that there are three types of reaction - substitution, addition and elimination; that there are three types of reagent - nucleophiles, electrophiles and radicals; and that there are two effects - electronic and steric - through which the behaviour of a particular atom or group can be influenced by the rest of the molecule of which it is a constituent part." "A Primer to Mechanism in Organic Chemistry is an essential resource for first- and second-year chemistry undergraduates and particularly, though not exclusively, those not then proceeding to further chemical study. It is also a useful reference for sixth-form students."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved







86 Tricks to Ace Organic Chemistry


Book Description

Explains the basic principles of organic chemistry and provides help with reactions, synthesis, mechanisms, spectra, reagents, and study methods.




Advanced Organic Chemistry


Book Description

A best-selling mechanistic organic chemistry text in Germany, this text's translation into English fills a long-existing need for a modern, thorough and accessible treatment of reaction mechanisms for students of organic chemistry at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level. Knowledge of reaction mechanisms is essential to all applied areas of organic chemistry; this text fulfills that need by presenting the right material at the right level.




The Art of Writing Reasonable Organic Reaction Mechanisms


Book Description

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. Each chapter discusses common mechanistic pathways and suggests practical tips for drawing them. Worked problems are included in the discussion of each mechanism, and "common error alerts" are scattered throughout the text to warn readers about pitfalls and misconceptions that bedevil students. Each chapter is capped by a large problem set.




Organic Reaction Mechanisms


Book Description

This book, written explicitly for graduate and postgraduate students of chemistry, provides an extensive coverage of various organic reaction and rearrangements with emphasis on there application in synthesis. A summary of oxidation and reduction of organic compounds is given in tabular form (correlation tables) for the convenience of students. The most commonly encountered reaction intermediates are dealt with. Applications of organic reagents illustrated with examples and problems at the end of each chapter will enable students to evaluate their understanding of the topic.




Reaction Mechanism in Organic Chemistry


Book Description

This book presents all the aspects of Reaction Mechanism in an exhaustive and systematic manner. Taking a contemporary approach to the subject, it thrives on worked out mechanisms and solved examples for the students to understand and practice various categories of chemical reactions. Designed to meet the growing needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students, this book would also be useful as a reference text to the aspirants appearing for various national-level entrance examinations.
