Organic reaction mechanisms. 1993, An annual survey covering the literature dated December 1992 through November 1993

The only book series to summarize the latest progress on organic reaction mechanisms, Organic Reaction Mechanisms, 1993 surveys the development in understanding of the main classes of organic reaction mechanisms reported in the primary scientific literature in 1993. The 29th annual volume in this highly successful series highlights mechanisms of stereo-specific reactions. Reviews are compiled by a team of experienced editors and authors, allowing advanced undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and chemists to rely on the volume's continuing quality of selection and presentation. Partial table of contents:. Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones (M. Page). Reactions of Acids and Their Derivatives (W. Spillane). Radical Reactions 1 (W. Bowman). Oxidation and Reduction (G. Fleet). Carbenes and Nitrenes (J. Knight). Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution (M. Crampton). Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (R. Coombes). Carbocations (H. Maskill). Nucleophilic Aliphatic Substitution (J. Shorter). Carbanions and Electrophilic Aliphatic Substitution (A. Knipe). Addition Reactions: Polar Addition (P. Koovsky). Addition Reactions: Cycloaddition (N. Dennis). Molecular Rearrangeme Part of a series which provides an annual review of developments in mechanistic organic chemistry. Each chapter concentrates on a specific type of reaction and reviews all of the mechanistic developments during 1993.
