Suitable for students and researchers in the field of organic synthesis, this title presents a practical dictionary of terms for a huge range of 'named' synthetic reactions (named following their discoverer). It summarizes these reaction types' various laboratory uses in the synthesis of complex pro[...]

Deals with the general mechanisms involved in chemical reactions involving enzymes. This book: illustrates the organic mechanism associated with each enzyme-catalyzed reaction; makes the connection between organic reaction mechanisms and enzyme mechanisms; and, compiles the information about molecul[...]

Electrochemical reactions make significant contributions to organic synthesis either in the laboratory or on an industrial scale. This book presents a logical development of reactions and mechanisms in organic electrochemistry. It is also a reference guide to the literature.[...]

Winner of the PROSE Award for Chemistry & Physics 2010Acknowledging the very best in professional and scholarly publishing, the annual PROSE Awards recognise publishers' and authors' commitment to pioneering works of research and for contributing to the conception, production, and design of landmark[...]

Emphasizing mechanistic aspects of organic reactions, Organic Mechanisms provides a useful guide for how to analyze, understand, approach, and solve the problems of organic reactions with the help of mechanistic studies.[...]
