Preface
Five years have elapsed since the fifth edition was published. Much has happened
since then. The author has migrated from academia back to industry. I have taken
out some name reactions from the fifth edition because the book was physically
getting too heavy and unwieldy. This change allows more space to expand and
update the more popular name reactions. All references have been updated to 2020
when available.
As in previous editions, each reaction is delineated by detailed, step-by-step,
electron-pushing mechanism, supplemented with the original and the latest refer-
ences, especially review articles. Now, with addition of many synthetic applica-
tions, it is not only an indispensable resource for senior undergraduate and gradu-
ate students to learn mechanisms and synthetic utility of name reactions and to
prepare for their exams, but also a good reference book for all organic chemists in
both industry and academia.
As always, I welcome your critique. Please send your comments to this email
