Organic Reaction Mechanisms, Third Edition

Covering all aspects of organic reaction mechanisms, this third edition explores chemical kinetics and reaction pathways, including substitution, addition elimination, and electrophilic substitutions. It describes aspects of the reaction intermediates like carbocations, canoanions, free radical, carbenes, nitrines, benzynes, ylides, and enamines. The book also includes information on a large number of oxidizing agents, reducing agents, and common reagents like organometallic reagents. In addition, the book presents a comprehensive discussion on organic reactions, their mechanisms, and applications along with various rearrangement which are encountered in organic synthesis.
