Organic Reaction Mechanisms

Catalog description

Classes of reaction mechanisms and the methods whereby mechanisms may be studied. Kinetic and equilibrium studies; isotopic labeling; activation parameters; linear free energy relationships; stereochemistry; NMR and other spectroscopic methods as applied to reaction mechanisms, including direct observation of reactive intermediates; interpreting the results of semi-empirical calculations of reaction pathways; and studies of acid- and base-catalysis mechanisms.
