About Book
The last thirty years have witnessed a profound increase in our understanding of the ways in which organic compounds react together their mechanisms of reaction. This has, on the one hand, become a large, discrete branch of organic chemistry; but it has also, on the other, had a considerable impact on our approach to devising methods for the synthesis of organic compounds. To the student, reaction mechanism can have a two-fold appeal: it is, in its own right, an intellectually stimulating subject in its rationalization and unification of complex processes; and it also provides a relatively simple superstructure on which the vast array of the facts of organic chemistry can be hung.
