Nylon, Plexiglas, Dynamit: Viele industrielle Erzeugnisse "verdanken" wir den Prinzipien der organischen Chemie. Prinzipien, die Chemiestudenten vielfach als trockenen Lehrstoff ohne jeden praktischen Bezug büffeln müssen. Dass es auch anders geht, zeigen Green und Wittcoff. In zehn knappen Kapiteln verknüpfen sie die Theorie mit industriellen Prozessen - ein Gewinn nicht nur für Studenten, sondern auch für Lehrende. Da die meisten Chemiestudenten in ihrem späteren Berufsleben mit Problemen der organischen Chemie konfrontiert sein werden, sollte diese breite Zielgruppe nach Ansicht der beiden Autoren schon vom Beginn ihrer akademischen Ausbildung an über industrielle Produkte und Prozesse informiert werden. Organic Chemistry Principles and Industrial Practice beschreibt die Geschichte der industriellen Chemie, liefert wertvolle, sonst kaum zugängliche Informationen und bietet nicht zuletzt auch zahlreiche Anekdoten aus dem reichen Erfahrungsschatz der Autoren. Beide sind langjährige Dozenten. Sie liefern eine leicht zu lesende, klar strukturierte Einführung, die tieferes Verständnis der Grundlagen der organischen Chemie und ihrer Anwendungen ermöglicht. Das Werk eignet sich hervorragend als Ergänzung zu den Lehrbüchern, kann aber auch von Studenten höherer Semester, Laborassistenten, Chemieingenieuren und Chemikern in der Industrie genutzt werden. Die Autoren zeigen unter anderem, wie aus Petroleum nützliche Dinge werden, gehen auf die zentrale Rolle der elektrophilen aromatischen Substitution ein, erzählen die "Nylon-Story", beschäftigen sich mit Polyethylen, Polypropylen und den Grundlagen der Stereochemie und vergessen auch natürliches Gummi und andere Elastomere nicht.…

In this textbook, designed to be used in conjunction with classic texts of organic chemistry at the undergraduate level, or standing alone for more advanced students, two experts, M. M. Green and H. A. Wittcoff bring the principles and the practice together. Written for students, and also giving much information that could be used to enhance teaching of the subject, the book, presented in ten concise chapters, combines important industrial processes with the principles of organic chemistry. The result is a source of otherwise barely accessible information. In addition, personal anecdotes from the authors' vast experience make this a fascinating and indispensable textbook for everyone wishing to enhance the appreciation of this subject.
"I have never come across such an enticing mix of stories of discovery with basic chemistry!"
Roald Hoffmann
Cornell University
"Simply put, this book is a gem. The chemistry described is rigorous but the warm, humorous, and conversational writing style makes the book a joy to read."
Dasan M. Thamattoor
Colby College
"This is a unique, fascinating book that bridges organic chemistry principles with chemical industrial applications. The story telling style make the reading/learning experience extremely enjoyable."
Qiao-Sheng Hu, College of Staten Island, City University of New York
