"Different from other books on name reactions in organic chemistry, "Name Reactions, A Collection of Detailed Reaction Mechanisms" focuses on their mechanisms. It covers over 300 classical as well as contemporary name reactions." "Each reaction is delineated by its detailed step-by-step, electron-pushing mechanism, supplemented with the original and the latest references, especially review articles. Thus, it is not only an indispensable resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students for their learning and exams, but also a good reference book for all chemists interested in name reactions."--Jacket.
