8th Edition
by Michael B. Smith (Author)
The completely revised and updated, definitive resource for students and professionals in organic chemistry
The revised and updated 8th edition of March's Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure
explains the theories of organic chemistry with examples and reactions.
This book is the most comprehensive resource about organic chemistry
available. Readers are guided on the planning and execution of
multi-step synthetic reactions, with detailed descriptions of all the
reactions
The opening chapters of March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, 8th Edition
deal with the structure of organic compounds and discuss important
organic chemistry bonds, fundamental principles of conformation, and
stereochemistry of organic molecules, and reactive intermediates in
organic chemistry. Further coverage concerns general principles of
mechanism in organic chemistry, including acids and bases,
photochemistry, sonochemistry and microwave irradiation. The
relationship between structure and reactivity is also covered. The final
chapters cover the nature and scope of organic reactions and their
mechanisms.
This edition:
- Provides revised examples and citations that reflect advances in areas of organic chemistry published between 2011 and 2017
- Includes
appendices on the literature of organic chemistry and the
classification of reactions according to the compounds prepared
- Instructs
the reader on preparing and conducting multi-step synthetic reactions,
and provides complete descriptions of each reaction
The 8th edition of March's Advanced Organic Chemistry
proves once again that it is a must-have desktop reference and textbook
for every student and professional working in organic chemistry or
related fields.
