This fully updated new edition presents organic reaction mechanism questions, carefully selected from the primary chemical literature, to understand how reactants are transformed into products. The author explains step-by-step solutions to all problems with appropriate contextual comments explaining the rationale and reasoning underlying each step, and identifying the underlying principles involved in each question. In the process the reader gains a better understanding of the fundamental principles of organic chemistry and how to become proficient in using the Lewis acid/Lewis base concept to complete organic reactions without resorting to memorization. Features : The questions are graded in difficulty with Part A containing questions aimed at students taking the sophomore-level organic chemistry class, while part B contains questions of somewhat greater difficulty suitable for students taking an honors course in organic chemistry or a beginning graduate course. Detailed answers are provided to all questions so students can check their answers and important points are highlighted in each answer. Special emphasis has been placed on the selection of questions to ensure that each question illustrates one or more fundamental principles of organic chemistry. Interspersed throughout the book are minireviews that cover the material pertaining to a particular topic. The specific literature references corresponding to each question are included and students can look up those references for more contextual information. Includes a large number of carefully-selected mechanism questions and step-by-step solutions, including explanatory comments
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.
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.
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.
How To Solve Organic Reaction Mechanisms: A Stepwise Approach is an upgraded and much-expanded sequel to the bestselling text Reaction Mechanisms at a Glance. This book takes a unique approach to show that a general problem-solving strategy is applicable to many of the common reactions of organic chemistry, demonstrating that logical and stepwise reasoning, in combination with a good understanding of the fundamentals, is a powerful tool to apply to the solution of problems. Sub-divided by functional group, the book uses a check-list approach to problem-solving using mechanistic organic chemistry as its basis. Each mechanistic problem is presented as a two-page spread; the left-hand page introduces the problem and provides a stepwise procedure for working through the reaction mechanisms, with helpful hints about the underlying chemistry. The right-hand page contains the full worked solution and summary. This revised edition includes the following updates: A new chapter which applies the problem solving strategy to ligand coupling reactions using transition metals Much-expanded set of fully worked problems Over 40 further problems (with answers for tutors) for use in tutorials How To Solve Organic Reaction Mechanisms: A Stepwise Approach is an essential workbook for all students studying organic chemistry, and a useful aide for teachers of undergraduate organic chemistry to use in their tutorials.
Organic chemistry is a core part of the chemistry curricula, andadvanced levels texts often obscure the essential frameworkunderlying and uniting the vast numbers of reactions as a result ofthe high level of detail presented. The material in this book iscondensed into a manageable text of 350 pages and presented in aclear and logical fashion, focusing purely on the basics of thesubject without going through exhaustive detail or repetitiveexamples. The book aims to bridge the gap between undergraduateorganic chemistry textbooks and advanced level textbooks, beginningwith a basic introductory course and arranging the reactionmechanisms according to an ascending order of difficulty. As such,the author believes the book will be excellent primer for advancedpostgraduates Reaction Mechanisms in Organic Synthesis is written fromthe point of view of the synthetic organic chemist, enablingstudents and researchers to understand and expand on reactionscovered in foundation courses, and to apply them in a practicalcontext by designing syntheses. As a further aid to the practicalresearch student, the content is organized according to theconditions under which a reaction is executed rather than by thetypes of mechanisms. Particular emphasis is placed on controllingstereospecificity and regiospecificity. Topics covered include: Transition metal mediated carbon-carbon bond formationreactions Use of stabilized carbanions, ylides and enamines forcarbon-carbon bond formation reactions, Advanced level use of oxidation and reduction reagents insynthesis. As a modern text, this book stands out from its competitors dueto its comprehensive coverage of recently published research. Thebook contains specific examples from the latest literature,covering modern reactions and the latest procedural modifications.The focus on contemporary and synthetically useful reactionsensures that the contents are specifically relevant and attractiveto postgraduate students and industrial organic chemists.
