Reaction Mechanisms at a Glance

Students at all levels find considerable difficulty in applying their knowledge of organic chemistry to the solution of problems, often relying on memory alone. This book takes a unique approach to show that a general problem--solving strategy is applicable to many of the common reactions. Using a novel a at--a--glancea layout, the left--hand page provides a stepwise procedure for working through the reaction mechanisms, with helpful hints about the underlying chemistry, and the facing page contains a fully worked--through answer.
