Organic Reaction Mechanisms 2002 [PDF ebook] 
An annual survey covering the literature dated January to December 2002

This volume is the 38th in this classical series. In
every volume the content is divided in the different classes of
organic reaction mechanisms:

* Reaction of Aldehydes and Ketones and their Derivatives

* Reactions of Carboxylic, Phosphoric, and Sulfonic Acids and
their Derivatives

* Oxidation and Reduction

* Carbenes and Nitrenes

* Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution

* Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution

* Carbocations

* Nucleophilic Aliphatic Substitution

* Carbanions and Electrophilic Aliphatic Substitution

* Elimination Reactions

* Radical Reactions

* Addition Reactions: Polar Addition

* Addition Reactions: Cycloadditions

* Molecular Rearrangements

An experienced team of authors is compiling these reviews every
year, so that the reader can rely on a continuing quality of
selection and presentation. As a new service to the reader all
reaction mechanisms leading to stereospecific products are
highlighted. This reflects the needs of the organic synthetic
community with leads to chiral reactions.

Detailed author and subject indexes help the reader to find the
information they are looking for.
