• Content is organized according to functional groups.
• Emphasis on mechanisms – encourages students to see similarities in mechanisms among different functional groups.
• Reaction mechanisms are accompanied by potential energy diagrams.
New to this edition :
• New Sections on
S N2 Reactions of Allylic Halides
Allylic Anions
SN1 Reactions of Benzylic Halides
SN2 Reactions of Benzylic Halides
• Chapter on IR spectroscopy has been rewritten.
• Discussion of Mutarotation revised to include the now-generally accepted molecular orbital explanation for the anomeric effect.
