Synopsis

This book differs from others on name reactions in organic chemistry by focusing on their mechanisms. It covers over 300 classical as well as contemporary name reactions. Biographical sketches for the chemists who discovered or developed those name reactions have been included. Each reaction is delineated by its detailed step-by-step, electron-pushing mechanism, supplemented with the original and the latest references, especially review articles. This book contains major improvements over the previous edition and the subject index is significantly expanded.

MEDIA REVIEWS

Reviews of the Fourth Edition:

''This is the 4th edition of a classic collection of organic reactions which have been named after the original chemist with which they are associated. It now covers over 300 classical and contemporary name reactions. Each entry includes the name of the reaction, a short description, the step-by-step mechanism, two to three representative examples and a list of references, updated in many cases up to 2009. Biographical sketches for the chemists who discovered or developed those name reactions have been included.

A useful resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students for learning and exams, but also a good reference book for all organic chemists.'' Gordon Fisher, Chemistry World, December, 2009.

Aus den Rezensionen zur 3. Auflage:

"... massgeblich erweitert! ... interessant zu lesen ... Gegenuber der zweiten Auflage wird der Platz effektiver genutzt ... `Name Reactions` ist ein ausserst nutzliches Buch, um einen ersten Einstieg zu einer Vielzahl an wichtigen ... aktuellen Namensreaktionen zu erhalten. Die mechanistischen Erlauterungen in Form von ausgezeichneten Schemen sind daruber hinaus eine Grundlage fur den fortgeschrittenen Studenten, diese Mechanismen zu uben. Gegenuber der zweiten Auflage wurden ... Fehler korrigiert, so dass das Buch ... unter dem Gesichtspunkt der gelungenen Erweiterungen - zum Kauf empfohlen werden kann!"
