Principles of Organic Synthesis

This book is designed for those who have had no more than a brief introduction to organic chemistry and who require a broad understanding of the subject. The first part of the book sets reaction mechanism in the wider context of basic principles and concepts that underlie chemical reactions: chemical thermodynamics, structural theory, theories of reaction kinetics, mechanism itself and stereochemistry. Part II applies these principles and concepts to the formation of particular types of bonds, groupings, and compounds. It also details the multi-step syntheses of several complex, naturally occurring compounds.Bonnett, Raymond is the author of 'Principles of Organic Synthesis', published 1993 under ISBN 9780748761623 and ISBN 0748761624.
