Organic Reaction Mechanisms 2002: An annual survey covering the literature dated January to December 2002 Revised Edition

This volume is the 38th in this classical series. In every volume the content is divided in the different classes of organic reaction mechanisms: Reaction of Aldehydes and Ketones and their DerivativesReactions of Carboxylic, Phosphoric, and Sulfonic Acids and their DerivativesOxidation and ReductionCarbenes and NitrenesNucleophilic Aromatic SubstitutionElectrophilic Aromatic SubstitutionCarbocationsNucleophilic Aliphatic SubstitutionCarbanions and Electrophilic Aliphatic SubstitutionElimination ReactionsRadical ReactionsAddition Reactions: Polar AdditionAddition Reactions: CycloadditionsMolecular RearrangementsAn experienced team of authors is compiling these reviews every year, so that the reader can rely on a continuing quality of selection and presentation. As a new service to the reader all reaction mechanisms leading to stereospecific products are highlighted. This reflects the needs of the organic synthetic community with leads to chiral reactions.Detailed author and subject indexes help the reader to find the information they are looking for. Read more
