Organic Reaction Mechanisms: 40 Solved Cases [Hardcover]

Mar Gómez Gallego (Author), Miguel A. Sierra (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 3540003525 | ISBN-13: 978-3540003526 | Publication Date: January 22, 2004 | Edition: 1

Organic Reaction Mechanisms shows readers how to interpret the experimental data obtained from an organic reaction, and specifically how an organic reaction mechanism can be considered or rejected based on the analysis of the experimental evidence. Whilst examining a series of selected examples of mechanisms, the text focuses on real cases and discusses them in detail. The examples are arranged to elucidate key aspects of organic reaction mechanisms. The authors employ all the types of information that the authors of the original work considered useful and necessary, including spectroscopic data, kinetic and thermodynamic data, isotopic labelling and organic reactivity. The book makes an excellent primer for advanced undergraduates in chemistry who are preparing for exams and is also useful for graduate students and instructors.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Aus "Nachrichten aus der Chemie, 52, Dezember 2004", von Kilian Muniz, Bonn:

"(...) Der Rezensent fand das Buch insgesamt sehr anregend. Einzelne Kapitel lassen sich ohne weiteres "zwischendurch" lesen und bearbeiten. Einem möglichen Missverständnis soll jedoch noch vorgebeugt werden: Das vorliegende Buch ist keine generelle Einführung in die organischen Reaktionsmechanismen oder gar ein allgemeines Lehrbuch. Dies war von den Autoren mit Sicherheit auch nicht gewollt. Gerade für geübtere Studenten im Hauptstudium zur Weiterbildung oder zur Diskussion in Diplomanden- und Doktorandenseminaren ist das vorliegende Buch jedoch uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen."

From the Back Cover

Organic Reaction Mechanisms shows readers how to interpret the experimental data obtained from an organic reaction, and specifically how an organic reaction mechanism can be considered or rejected based on the analysis of the experimental evidence. Examining a series of selected examples of mechanisms, Organic Reaction Mechanisms focuses on real cases and discusses them in detail, following the same methodology: introduction, experimental data and discussion. The examples are arranged to elucidate key aspects of organic reaction mechanisms. The authors employ all the types of information that the authors of the original work considered useful and necessary, including kinetic and thermodynamic data, isotopic labelling and organic reactivity. The book makes an excellent primer for advanced undergraduates in chemistry who are preparing for exams and is also useful for graduate students and instructors.
