Description
Book SynopsisOrganic Reaction Mechanisms 2017, the 53rd annual volume in this highly successful and unique series, surveys research on organic reaction mechanisms described in the available literature dated 2017. The following classes of organic reaction mechanisms are comprehensively reviewed:
Reaction of Aldehydes and Ketones and their Derivatives
Reactions of Carboxylic, Phosphoric, and Sulfonic Acids and their Derivatives
Oxidation and Reduction
Carbenes and Nitrenes
Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution
Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution
Carbocations
Nucleophilic Aliphatic Substitution
Carbanions and Electrophilic Aliphatic Substitution
Elimination Reactions
Polar Addition Reactions
Cycloaddition Reactions
Molecular Rearrangements
An experienced team of authors compile these reviews every year, so that the reader can rely on a continuing quality of selection and presentation.
