Description
Helps to develop new perspectives and a deeper understanding oforganic chemistry Instructors and students alike have praised Perspectives onStructure and Mechanism in Organic Chemistry because itmotivates readers to think about organic chemistry in new andexciting ways. Based on the author's first hand classroomexperience, the text uses complementary conceptual models to givenew perspectives on the structures and reactions of organiccompounds. The first five chapters of the text discuss the structure andbonding of stable molecules and reactive intermediates. These arefollowed by a chapter exploring the methods that organic chemistsuse to study reaction mechanisms. The remaining chapters examinedifferent types of acid-base, substitution, addition, elimination,pericyclic, and photochemical reactions. This Second Edition has been thoroughly updated andrevised to reflect the latest findings in physical organicchemistry. Moreover, this edition features: New references to the latest primary and review literature More study questions to help readers better understand andapply new concepts in organic chemistry Coverage of new topics, including density functional theory,quantum theory of atoms in molecules, Marcus theory, molecularsimulations, effect of solvent on organic reactions, asymmetricinduction in nucleophilic additions to carbonyl compounds, anddynamic effects on reaction pathways The nearly 400 problems in the text do more than allow studentsto test their understanding of the concepts presented in eachchapter. They also encourage readers to actively review andevaluate the chemical literature and to develop and defend theirown ideas. With its emphasis on complementary models and independentproblem-solving, this text is ideal for upper-level undergraduateand graduate courses in organic chemistry.
