Organic Reactions: Simplicity and Logic

Written by one of the world’s leading researchers and teachers in organic chemistry, this book focuses on the living core of chemistry, organic synthesis. A rational treatment allows an economical presentation of both the theory and the actual procedures for synthetic pathways. Organic Reactions: Simplicity and Logic — the student’s and lecturer’s ideal companion, provides:a superb overview of organic reactionsa rigorous introduction to the underlying theoretical conceptsinsight into the logic and simplicity underpinning organic synthesisbiographies of, and mini–essays devoted to, great scientists who have shaped chemistry and biochemistryexamples of industrial organic chemistryan easy–to–read, well–written, highly illustrated textan essential learning tool for chemistry, biochemistry and polymer science coursesOrganic Reactions: Simplicity and Logic presents a lucid introduction to organic synthesis which will appeal to students and lecturers in organic, medicinal, pharmaceutical and industrial chemistry as well as biochemistry, polymer and materials science.
