Advanced Organic Chemistry - Reactions and Mechanisms, 2e - written in a simple and honest way this book is extremely pleasant to follow the language of chemistry via structures and equations. The book is developed to initiate fundamental ideas rather than on the sequential presentation of facts and is articulated with the two most important sorts of chemistry that exist—the chemistry that is known as life, and the chemistry as practiced by chemists solving real problems in laboratories. Each chapter contains only those topics and reactions that are needed to understand the intellectual roots of organic chemistry as it is currently practiced. All topics covered are either 'fundamental' or 'advanced'. Fundamental sections address the needs of upper-level undergraduates, while the advanced sections are intended for graduate-level/ senior audiences. The problems at the end of each chapter represent application of concepts to new structures and circumstances, rather than review of material explicitly presented in the text. These problems are designed in such a way that students can test themselves on the material just covered before proceeding to the next section. Chapters like theory, mechanism, synthesis, structure, and stereochemistry are discussed throughout the book in a qualitative to semi quantitative tone.
