The 40th annual volume in this highly successful and unique series surveying the advances in the understanding of organic reaction mechanisms. In every volume the content is divided in the different classes of organic reaction mechanisms, including: Reaction of Aldehydes and Ketones and their DerivativesReactions of Carboxylic, Phosphoric, and Sulfonic Acids and their DerivativesOxidation and ReductionCarbenes and NitrenesElimination ReactionsRadical Reactions Molecular Rearrangements An experienced team of authors compile 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.
