Reviews
  • 'Teachers ... should benefit from an alternative book on mechanisms, with its incorporation of reaction maps and modern vocabulary, eg nucleofuges.' - Alan Dronsfield, Education in Chemistry, November 1997
  • ''...concise introduction to important mechanisms of organic reactions...Howard Maskill deosn't just describe mechanisms, he also indicates the type of evidence on which they are based, and encourages his readers tow eigh the evidence careflly.'' - New Scientist

Description
  • Concise
  • Up-to-date
  • Authoritative
The book begins with the modern concepts of organic chemical reactivity, then presents a concise up to date account of the mechanisms of major reactions of simple organic compounds. Each chapter leads the student from the experimental evidence to the mechanistic deductions, and ends with problems for students to work through, and a short bibliography.

Readership: First and second year undergraduate students on chemistry courses.

Contents
1. Description and investigation of organic reaction mechanisms
2. Nucleophilic substitution at saturated carbon
3. Eliminations reactions to give alkenes
4. Reactions of nuclephiles with carbonyl compounds
5. Additional of carbon-carbon multiple bonds
