The Art of Writing Reasonable Organic Reaction Mechanisms

This book shows readers how to draw reasonable mechanisms for reactions they have never seen before. This skill will help readers develop a good command of electron-pushing before tackling the detailed mechanistic analysis of physical organic chemistry. It is organized according to mechanistic types in order to clarify the basic mechanistic similarities among apparently diverse reactions. One of the unique features of this book is the common error alert, which warns about common pitfalls and misconceptions.
