March's Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure (March's Advanced Organic Chemistry)

The Sixth Edition of a classic in organic chemistry continues its tradition of excellence Now in its sixth edition, March's Advanced Organic Chemistry remains the gold standard in organic chemistry. Throughout its six editions, students and chemists from around the world have relied on it as an essential resource for planning and executing synthetic reactions. The Sixth Edition brings the text completely current with the most recent organic reactions. In addition, the references have been updated to enable readers to find the latest primary and review literature with ease. Each successive edition of March's continues to garner international praise. Here is what one reviewer said of the Fifth Edition:'The book remains a tremendous value for the money... more pages per buck than most other texts... so it will remain a firm favorite as a general organic text and an easy-to-use one-volume reference... it will undoubtedly appear in all organic chemistry libraries and probably on many chemists'personal bookshelves too.'—Organic Process Research & Development The Sixth Edition carries on the tradition of excellence with such new features as: More than 25,000 references to the literature to facilitate further research Revised mechanisms, where required, that explain concepts in clear modern terms Revisions and updates to each chapter to bring them all fully up to date with the latest reactions and discoveries A revised Appendix B to facilitate correlating chapter sections with synthetic transformations

This the 37th book in the series will survey research on organic reaction mechanisms described in the literature between December 1999 to November 2000. As in previous volumes new mechanisms for the synthesis of all types of organic compounds will be included as well as such mechanisms as addition and elimination reaction March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, Sixth Edition clearly explains the theories and examples of organic chemistry, providing the most comprehensive textbook in organic chemistry available. Readers are guided on planning and execution of multi-step synthetic reactions, with detailed descriptions of all the reactions. This updated version of this text contains all the reactions, mechanisms, and structures of organic compounds that are key to understanding life processes
