Reaction Mechanisms At a Glance: A Stepwise Approach to Problem-Solving in Organic Chemistry (Chemistry At a Glance)

Reaction Mechanisms At a Glance: A Stepwise Approach to Problem-Solving in Organic Chemistry (Chemistry At a Glance) by Moloney, Mark G.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780632050024.

Students at all levels find considerable difficulty in applying their knowledge of organic chemistry to the solution of problems, often relying on memory alone. This book takes a unique approach to show that a general problem-solving strategy is applicable to many of the common reactions. Using a novel at-a-glance layout, the left-hand page provides a stepwise procedure for working through the reaction mechanisms, with helpful hints about the underlying chemistry, and the facing page contains a fully worked-through answer.
