Synopsis

After four editions, it′s still the reference students and professionals count on. Advanced Organic Chemistry Fourth Edition Only one reference has brought consistently incisive, up–to date, and comprehensive coverage of the most useful reactions in organic chemistry directly to the fingertips of both students and professionals: Advanced Organic Chemistry. Organized by reaction type, a feature that makes clear the basic principles underlying the nearly 580 reactions described, Advanced Organic Chemistry offers instant access to each reaction′s scope, limitations, and mechanisms. Balancing timely detail and informative breadth, this new updated Fourth Edition:

• Describes the structure of organic compounds, including chemical bonding and stereochemistry
• Reviews general reaction mechanisms, including ordinary reactions and photochemical reactions
• Includes a survey of reactions, arranged by reaction type and by which bonds are broken and formed
• Includes IUPAC′s newest system for designating reaction mechanisms
• Features an index to the methods used for preparing given types of compounds
• Contains more than 15,000 references–5,000 new to this edition–to original papers

About this title

Review:

"...the book remains tremendous value for money...more pages per buck than most other texts...so it will remain a firm favourite as a general organic text and an easy–to–use 1–volume reference...will undoubtedly appear in all organic chemistry libraries and probably on many chemists′ personal bookshelves too." (Organic Process Research & Development Journal, Vol. 5, No. 6, November 2001)

From the Back Cover:

From the reviews of the Fourth Edition ...

"March has been uncompromising in his search for clarity and utility in presentations of a wide variety of essential organic chemistry. It remains an accessible and useful tool for both specialists and nonspecialists in the field. It does an excellent job both as a text for first–year graduate students and a handy reference for others."–Journal of Chemical Education

"The ratio of information to price makes this book a wonderful bargain."–American Scientist
