Whilst examining a series of selected examples of mechanisms, the text focuses on real cases and discusses them in detail. Examples are arranged to elucidate key aspects of organic reaction mechanisms. The authors of the book 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 labeling and organic reactivity. The book makes an excellent primer for advanced undergraduates in chemistry who are preparing for exams, and it is also useful for graduate students and instructors. It contains 290 pages and 432 illustrations and is available at a price of € 49.95.
