Writing reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry / [electronic resource] Kenneth A. Savin. Savin, Kenneth A., author. Organic reaction mechanisms Textbooks. Chemistry, Organic. (DNLM)D002625 QD251.2 547/.139 23 Previous edition by Audrey Miller. Includes bibliographical references and index. Print version record. "This book illustrates that understanding organic reactions is based on applying general principles rather than memorizing unrelated processes. This approach helps you understand that writing mechanisms is a practical method of applying knowledge of previously encountered reactions and reaction conditions to new reactions. After explaining basic principles, this book then examines a series of examples representing a broad series of reaction types. A clear background and explanation is provided for the reactions, as well as an illustration of the reaction use and its mechanism."-- from the publisher. 2014 Text 1 online resource (vii, 502 pages) : http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780124114753 eng Writing reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry.
