First published in 1979 as the second edition of a 1972 original, this textbook provides a systematic account of an important area of organic chemistry - that of cycloadditions and molecular rearrangements. The necessary theoretical background for understanding these reactions is presented in non-mathematical form and various alternative approaches to the theory are compared. The core of the book is a descriptive account of various types of cycloaddition and rearrangement reactions. The synthetic importance of these reactions is emphasised and, by providing the mechanistic background, the book demonstrates to the reader the relationship between the different types of reactions. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in organic chemistry.

Carbenes, nitrenes, and arynes are of great interest to chemists because of the central role they play, as the key intermediates, in a wide range of chemical reactions. Their study has illuminated many aspects of synthetic and mechanistic chemistry. Their organic chemistry has developed enormously over the last ten to fifteen years so that now a fairly clear pattern of reactions and reactivity, strikingly similar for all three, has emerged. Partly because of this, but also because of the many unsolved problems and gaps in our present knowledge, it now seems appropriate to present a comparative account of their chemistry. Our approach is a simple, descriptive one that nevertheless attempts to bring the reader as nearly up-to-date as possible; there is considerable emphasis on recent work in the text and the problems. We have been selective rather than comprehensive, have concentrated on underlying principles, and have tried to emphasize what can, and what cannot, reasonably be claimed on the basis of the available experimental evidence. (The development of this area of organic chemistry could weil serve as a cauti'onary tale in this respect. ) We have written the book primarily at the advanced student level but it should also be useful to postgraduates students and to more experienced chemists. Some of the problems are at a rather more advanced level, the aim being to extend the reader's knowledge and understanding and to direct him to some recent originalliterature.
