Chemistry and creativity Advanced Organic Chemistry. Part A: Structure and Mechanisms, 4th Edition
Francis A. CareyAdvanced Organic Chemistry. Part A Structure and Mechanisms, 4th Edition
The Fourth Edition provides updated material but continues the essential elements of the previous edition. The material in Part A is organized on the basis of fundamental structural topics such as structure, stereochemistry, conformation and aromaticity and basic mechanistic types.
The material in Part B is organized on the basis of reaction type with emphasis on reactions of importance in laboratory synthesis. The two parts stand alone, although there is considerable cross-referencing. This edition updates certain topics that have advanced rapidly in the decade, including computational chemistry, structural manifestations of aromaticity, enantioselective reactions and lanthanide catalysis.
