Organic Reaction Mechanisms, Selected Problems, and Solutions (EPUB)

Organic Reaction Mechanism Questions: Step-by-Step Solutions

By William C. Groutas, Athri D. Rathnayake

In this fully updated new edition, carefully selected organic reaction mechanism questions from the primary chemical literature are presented to help understand how reactants are transformed into products. The book offers step-by-step solutions with appropriate contextual comments to explain the rationale and reasoning behind each step, and to identify the underlying principles involved in each question. Through this 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 that students can check their answers, and important points are highlighted in each answer. Special emphasis has been placed on selecting questions that illustrate one or more fundamental principles of organic chemistry.
• Minireviews are interspersed throughout the book to cover material pertaining to a particular topic.
• The specific literature references corresponding to each question are included so 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.
