Die entsprechenden Dbersichten in Kapitel 4 findet man in den Abschnitten 4.II, 4.II1 und 4.IV. 2. Grundlagen der Elektronentheorie der organischen Chemie* Die organische Chemie hat sich heute so weit entwickelt, daB man die groBe Mehrzahl aller Reaktionen durch eine Aufeinanderfolge einzelner Schritte erklaren und korrelieren kann, wobei sich diese Schritte ihrer seits in wenige einfache, grundlegende Reaktionstypen unterteilen lassen. Bei jeder organischen Reaktion werden Bindungen gel6st und/oder gebildet. Eine chemische Bindung besteht aus zwei Elektronen, die zwei Atomen gemeinsam...
