Description: "Writing Reaction Mechanisms is a guide to charting the movements of electrons and atoms during the reactions of organic molecules. The book helps train the reader to write organic reaction mechanisms - that is, to construct a detailed, step-by-step account of the changes that occur as reactants become transformed into products. It offers the student another framework for organizing the material covered in organic chemistry, which is frequently seen by students as an overwhelming quantity of information.

This book helps students understand functional group transformations and synthetic methods by organizing them into a set of general principles and guidelines for determining and writing mechanisms."--BOOK JACKET.
