a decision-based guide to organic mechanisms Scudder, Paul H. creator text xxu Wiley 2023 Third edition monographic spa eng 585 pages : illustrations "The third edition features entirely new chapters on crosschecking chemical reactions through good mechanistic thinking and solving spectral analysis problems using organic structure elucidation strategies. This edition also includes more biochemical reaction mechanism examples, additional exercises with answers, expanded discussion of how general chemistry concepts can show that structure determines reactivity, and new appendix covering transition metal organometallics."-- Provided by publisher 1.
