description: This book covers all aspects of organic reaction mechanisms named and unnamed reviewing the chemical kinetics and mechanisms of the various types of molecular rearrangements. It expands on the foundation acquired in chemistry courses and enables students to understand the mechanisms as they come across them in your classroom or laboratory.Organic Reaction Mechanisms provides extensive coverage of various organic reaction and rearrangements with emphasis on their applications in syntheses. The authors discuss reaction pathways such as substitutions additions eliminations oxidations reductions aromatic substitutions aliphatic nucleophilic substitution and electrophilic substitutions with numerous reaction equations to show the mechanism. The text also details the various reaction intermediates including carbocations carbanions free radicals carbenes nitrines benzynes arynes ylides and enamines.Furthermore the reagents are surveyed throughout the text and correlation tables are provided to aid in identifying which oxidation/reduction agents to use for oxidizing/reducing various types of compounds. The applications of organic reagents are illustrated with examples and problems at the end of each chapter which also serve to review the mechanisms learned and topics discussed. A comprehensive discussion on organic reactions Organic Reaction Mechanisms will benefit advanced undergraduate and graduate chemistry students in their understanding and application of organic syntheses.
