Publisher's Synopsis
Discusses various organic name reactions and rearrangements in four chapters. The first chapter describes several name reactions that we come across in organic chemistry. Chapter Two covers different named rearrangement reactions. Both the chapters include following sub sections: overall reaction, mechanism detail, highlighted notes, examples and references. Significant points are presented in a lucid manner with a brief history about the Nobel prize winners of related name reactions inserted at appropriate places.At the end of each name reaction and rearrangement, literature examples supported by international peer reviewed journal references are given which describe both key and significant points. Chapter Three contains problems with solutions related to various name reactions and rearrangements. The stereochemical aspects of different name reactions and rearrangements are included where ever necessary. Apart from the above, the last chapter includes a comparison among similar types of name reactions.
