Product Description:


This English edition of a best-selling and award-winning German textbook Reaction Mechanisms: Organic Reactions · Stereo · Modern Synthetic Methods is aimed at those who desire to learn organic through an approach that is facile to understand and easily committed to memory. Michael Harmata, Norman Rabjohn Distinguished Professor of Organic (University of Missouri) surveyed the accuracy of the translation, made certain contributions, and above all adapted its rationalizations to those prevalent in the organic community in the English-speaking world.

Throughout the book fundamental and advanced reaction mechanisms are presented with meticulous precision. The systematic use of red "electron-pushing arrows" allows students to follow each transformation elementary step by elementary step. Mechanisms are not only presented in the traditional contexts of rate laws and substituent effects but, whenever possible, are illustrated using practical, useful and state-of-the-art reactions. The abundance of stereoselective reactions included in the treatise makes the reader familiar with key concepts of stereo.

The fundamental topics of the book address the needs of upper-level undergraduate students, while its advanced sections are intended for graduate-level audiences. Accordingly, this book is an essential learning tool for students and a unique addition to the reference desk of practicing organic chemists, who as life-long learners desire to keep abreast of both fundamental and applied aspects of our science. In addition, it will well serve ambitious students in -related fields such as bio, medicinal and pharmaceutical .

From the reviews:

"Professor Bruckner has further refined his already masterful synthetic organic classic; the additions are seamless and the text retains the magnificent clarity, rigour and precision which were the hallmark of previous editions. The strength of the book stems from Professor Bruckner’s ability to pre lucid explanations based on a deep understanding of physical organic and to limit discussion to very carefully selected reaction classes illuminated by exquisitely pertinent examples, often from the recent literature. The panoply of organic synthesis is analysed and dissected according to fundamental structural, orbital, kinetic and thermodynamic principles with an effortless coherence that yields great insight and never over-simplifies. The perfect source text for advanced Undergraduate and Masters/PhD students who want to understand, in depth, the art of synthesis ."
Alan C. Spivey, Imperial College London

"Bruckner’s ‘Organic Mechanisms’ accurately reflects the way practicing organic chemists think and speak about organic reactions. The figures are beautifully drawn and show the way organic chemists graphically depict reactions. It uses a combination of basic valence bond pictures with more sophisticated molecular orbital treatments. It handles mechanisms both from the "electron pushing perspective" and from a kinetic and energetic view. The book will be very useful to new US graduate students and will help bring them to the level of sophistication needed to be serious researchers in organic ."
Charles P. Casey, University of Wisconsin-Madison

"This is an excellent advanced organic textbook that pres a key resource for students and teachers alike."
Mark Rizzacasa, University of Melbourne, Australia.

Rating: 5

Look at the cover of the book. The title is "Organic Mechanisms", not "Advanced Organic ". Overall it is a nice book. If you have specific concerns, the editor pred a mechanism through which you can improve the book. See his preface. I am he. Thanks!! March 20, 2010: There was a title change from "Advanced Organic " to "Organic ". Well, we are almost there!! Change it to "Organic Mechanisms" and I will stop writing here. Give this book a chance my friends. But note that it is a book for thinkers!! Organic rocks!
