"This book illustrates that understanding organic reactions is based on applying general principles rather than memorizing unrelated processes. This approach helps you understand that writing mechanisms is a practical method of applying knowledge of previously encountered reactions and reaction conditions to new reactions. After explaining basic principles, this book then examines a series of examples representing a broad series of reaction types. A clear background and explanation is provided for the reactions, as well as an illustration of the reaction use and its mechanism."-- from the publisher.
