Book Description
"This book marks a significantly different approach to the subject. It has been designed specifically to offer a simpler and less sophisticated treatment of organic reaction mechanisms than that to be found in the Guidebook. It is based on three underlying principles: that there are three types of reaction - substitution, addition and elimination; that there are three types of reagent - nucleophiles, electrophiles and radicals; and that there are two effects - electronic and steric - through which the behaviour of a particular atom or group can be influenced by the rest of the molecule of which it is a constituent part." "A Primer to Mechanism in Organic Chemistry is an essential resource for first- and second-year chemistry undergraduates and particularly, though not exclusively, those not then proceeding to further chemical study. It is also a useful reference for sixth-form students."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118681266
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
Organic chemistry is a core part of the chemistry curricula, andadvanced levels texts often obscure the essential frameworkunderlying and uniting the vast numbers of reactions as a result ofthe high level of detail presented. The material in this book iscondensed into a manageable text of 350 pages and presented in aclear and logical fashion, focusing purely on the basics of thesubject without going through exhaustive detail or repetitiveexamples. The book aims to bridge the gap between undergraduateorganic chemistry textbooks and advanced level textbooks, beginningwith a basic introductory course and arranging the reactionmechanisms according to an ascending order of difficulty. As such,the author believes the book will be excellent primer for advancedpostgraduates Reaction Mechanisms in Organic Synthesis is written fromthe point of view of the synthetic organic chemist, enablingstudents and researchers to understand and expand on reactionscovered in foundation courses, and to apply them in a practicalcontext by designing syntheses. As a further aid to the practicalresearch student, the content is organized according to theconditions under which a reaction is executed rather than by thetypes of mechanisms. Particular emphasis is placed on controllingstereospecificity and regiospecificity. Topics covered include: Transition metal mediated carbon-carbon bond formationreactions Use of stabilized carbanions, ylides and enamines forcarbon-carbon bond formation reactions, Advanced level use of oxidation and reduction reagents insynthesis. As a modern text, this book stands out from its competitors dueto its comprehensive coverage of recently published research. Thebook contains specific examples from the latest literature,covering modern reactions and the latest procedural modifications.The focus on contemporary and synthetically useful reactionsensures that the contents are specifically relevant and attractiveto postgraduate students and industrial organic chemists.

Mechanisms of Organic Reactions
Author: Howard Maskill
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780198558224
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Mechanisms of Organic Reactions is aimed at first and second year chemistry undergraduates. This authorative and up-to-date overview begins with a chapter in which modern terminology, definitions, and concepts of mechanisms and reactivity are introduced. The following four chapters are accounts of the mechanisms of four of the main classes of reactions of aliphatic compounds. However, rather than simply being presented with the mechanism, the reader is first given the experimental evidence, and then shown how this leads to the mechanistic deductions. With problems at the end of each chapter and a short bibliography this book will be invaluable to first and second year chemistry undergraduates.

Pages : 290
Book Description
Organic Reaction Mechanisms shows readers how to interpret the experimental data obtained from an organic reaction, and specifically how an organic reaction mechanism can be considered or rejected based on the analysis of the experimental evidence. Whilst examining a series of selected examples of mechanisms, the text focuses on real cases and discusses them in detail. The examples are arranged to elucidate key aspects of organic reaction mechanisms. The authors employ all the types of information that the authors of the original work considered useful and necessary, including spectroscopic data, kinetic and thermodynamic data, isotopic labelling and organic reactivity. The book makes an excellent primer for advanced undergraduates in chemistry who are preparing for exams and is also useful for graduate students and instructors.

Molecular Orbitals and Organic Chemical Reactions
Author: Ian Fleming
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119964652
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
Winner of the PROSE Award for Chemistry & Physics 2010 Acknowledging 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 works in their fields. Judged by peer publishers, librarians, and medical professionals, Wiley are pleased to congratulate Professor Ian Fleming, winner of the PROSE Award in Chemistry and Physics for Molecular Orbitals and Organic Chemical Reactions. Molecular orbital theory is used by chemists to describe the arrangement of electrons in chemical structures. It is also a theory capable of giving some insight into the forces involved in the making and breaking of chemical bonds—the chemical reactions that are often the focus of an organic chemist's interest. Organic chemists with a serious interest in understanding and explaining their work usually express their ideas in molecular orbital terms, so much so that it is now an essential component of every organic chemist's skills to have some acquaintance with molecular orbital theory. Molecular Orbitals and Organic Chemical Reactions is both a simplified account of molecular orbital theory and a review of its applications in organic chemistry; it provides a basic introduction to the subject and a wealth of illustrative examples. In this book molecular orbital theory is presented in a much simplified, and entirely non-mathematical language, accessible to every organic chemist, whether student or research worker, whether mathematically competent or not. Topics covered include: Molecular Orbital Theory Molecular Orbitals and the Structures of Organic Molecules Chemical Reactions — How Far and How Fast Ionic Reactions — Reactivity Ionic Reactions — Stereochemistry Pericyclic Reactions Radical Reactions Photochemical Reactions Slides for lectures and presentations are available on the supplementary website: www.wiley.com/go/fleming_student Molecular Orbitals and Organic Chemical Reactions: Student Edition is an invaluable first textbook on this important subject for students of organic, physical organic and computational chemistry. The Reference Edition edition takes the content and the same non-mathematical approach of the Student Edition, and adds extensive extra subject coverage, detail and over 1500 references. The additional material adds a deeper understanding of the models used, and includes a broader range of applications and case studies. Providing a complete in-depth reference for a more advanced audience, this edition will find a place on the bookshelves of researchers and advanced students of organic, physical organic and computational chemistry. Further information can be viewed here. "These books are the result of years of work, which began as an attempt to write a second edition of my 1976 book Frontier Orbitals and Organic Chemical Reactions. I wanted to give a rather more thorough introduction to molecular orbitals, while maintaining my focus on the organic chemist who did not want a mathematical account, but still wanted to understand organic chemistry at a physical level. I'm delighted to win this prize, and hope a new generation of chemists will benefit from these books." -Professor Ian Fleming

Protecting Group Chemistry
Author: Jeremy Robertson
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780198502753
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Protecting Group Chemistry provides an overview of the general methods that are used to block the reactivity of - i.e. protect - specific functional grops thus allowing others, present within the same molecule, to be manipulated unambiguously. An introductory chapter outlines protecting group strategy, relevant aspects of functional group reactivity, temporary protection, and introduces the concept of protecting group devices as an aid to unifying the wide range of available methods. Therest of the book is divided on the basis of broad classes of the experimental conditions that lead to cleavage of each protecting group (acid/electrophile, base/nucleophile, oxidising or reducing agent). The treatment differs from traditional texts in that it places the emphasis on making a connection between the fundamental mechanisms of organic chemsitry - ionisation, substitution, addition, elimination, oxidation and reduction, etc. - and how a particular protecting group can best be selected in a given situation.
