Notes:
To accompany Perspectives on structure and mechanism in organic chemistry / Felix A. Carroll. 2nd ed.
Contents:
Fundamental concepts of organic chemistry -- Stereochemistry -- Conformational analysis and molecular mechanics -- Applications of molecular orbital theory and valence bond theory -- Reactive intermediates -- Methods of studying organic reactions -- Substitution reactions -- Addition reactions -- Elimination reactions -- Pericyclic reactions -- Photochemistry.
Summary:
"Based on the author's first hand classroom experience, the text uses complementary conceptual models to give new perspectives on the structures and reactions of organic compounds. The first five chapters of the text discuss the structure and bonding of stable molecules and reactive intermediates. These are followed by a chapter exploring the methods that organic chemists use to study reaction mechanisms. The remaining chapters examine different types of acid-base, substitution, addition, elimination, pericyclic, and photochemical reactions. This Second Edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect the latest findings in physical organic chemistry ... With its emphasis on complementary models and independent problem-solving, this text is ideal for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in organic chemistry."--Publisher description
