Material type: 
TextLanguage: English Publisher: Singapore Wiley 2015Description: xii,230p. PB 28x20cmISBN: 9781118401590Subject(s): Organic ChemistryDDC classification: 547.2 Summary: 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 metalsMuch-expanded set of fully worked problemsOver 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.
