The text opens with a short overview of the way chemists
understand chemical structure, and how that understanding is
essential in developing a good knowledge of chemical reactivity and
mechanism. The remainder of the text presents a mechanistic
classification of modern organic chemistry, developed in the
context of synthetic organic chemistry and exemplified by reference
to stereoselective synthesis and protecting group chemistry. This
approach is intended to illustrate the importance and value of a
good grasp of organic reaction mechanisms, which is a prerequisite
for a broader understanding of organic chemistry.
Written by an expert educator with a sound understanding of the needs of different audiences, the subject is presented with clarity and precision, and in a highly practical manner. It is relevant to undergraduates, postgraduates and industrial organic chemists.
