Opis

This text is designed to teach students how to write organic reaction mechanisms. It starts from the basics - counting the numbers of electrons around a simple atom. Then, in small steps, the text progresses to advanced mechanisms to the end,

Spis treści

Part 1 Basic principles: electron counting; covalent bonding and polarization; shape of molecules; stabilization of charged species; thermodynamic and kinetic effects; acid/base characteristics. Part 2 Mechanisms: nucleophilic substitution reactions; electrophilic substitution reactions; radical substitution reactions; addition reactions to carbon/carbon multiple bonds; addition reactions to carbon/oxygen double bonds; elimination reactions; sequential addition/elimination reactions; rearrangement and fragmentation reactions; redox reactions. Appendices: molecular notations; stereochemical terminology; oxidation numbers.
