Determination of Organic Reaction Mechanisms

This practical handbook presents concise descriptions of the most commonly employed experimental techniques for studying reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry. For each technique, all necessary theoretical background is covered, and at least one example of its application––taken from the research literature––is described in detail.
