Organic Reaction Mechanisms By Raj K Bansal

The book opens new horizons in the field of Organic Reactions to postgraduate students and research scholars. The theoretical concepts provide a deeper insight into the fundamental aspects of Organic Reaction Mechanisms. A comprehensive account of recent mechanisms of organic reactions spread over fourteen well-written chapters, the book has the following salient features: Complete discussion on reaction intermediates; Discussion on both kinetic and chemical methods. Expansive coverage on pericyclic reactions; Relationship between structure and reactivity to the minutest details; and Extended examples of molecular rearrangements and other reactions.
