Pericyclic Reactions

Pericyclic Reactions: A Mechanistic and Problem Solving Approach provides complete and systematic coverage of the topic for researchers and graduate students in organic chemistry and pharmacy programs. Based on the authors' cumulative years of teaching and researching in the area, the work utilizes a problem-solving approach, supplemented with colorful figures and illustrative examples. Written in an accessible and engaging manner, the book covers Pericyclic Reactions: Electrocyclic Reactions, Sigmatropic Reactions, Cycloaddition Reactions, 1,3-Dipolar Reactions, Group Transfer, and ENE Reactions. It offers an in-depth study of the basic principles of these topics, and spends equal time on problems and their solutions that explore those principles and aid reader understanding. Additional practice problems are provided for further study and course use; qualified instructors can access the online Solutions Manual. * Comprehensive coverage of important topics 1,3-dipolar; pyrolytic; and cycloaddition reactions* Problem-solving approach with clear figures and many worked and unworked problems* Accessible content applicable to researchers and advanced students in organic chemistry
