Reaction Mechanisms in Organic Chemistry is primarily written for the students of undergraduate chemistry honours / major programs to elucidate the sequence of various organic reactions. It will also be useful for first-year postgraduate students in chemistry and those preparing for competitive examinations such as GATE, JAM, and CSIR-UGC NET. Comprising sixteen chapters, the book deals with various commonly encountered organic reaction mechanisms in topics such as organic acids and bases, stereo-chemistry, reactive intermediates, addition, elimination, and substitution reactions. The last chapter of the book focuses on topics such as desertification, Hammet equation, and tautomerism. Illustrative and student-friendly, this book will be of immense help to students in organizing and inter-relating facts about a reaction supported by experimental evidences, and is ideal for self-study.
