Reaction Mechanisms in Environmental Organic Chemistry classifies and organizes the reactions of environmentally important organic compounds using concepts and data drawn from traditional mechanistic and physical organic chemistry. It will help readers understand these reactions and their importance for the environmental fates or organic compounds of many types. The book has a molecular and mechanistic emphasis, and it is organized by reaction type. Organic molecules and their fates are examined in an ecosystem context. Their reactions are discussed in terms that organic chemists would use. The book will benefit organic chemists, environmental engineers, water treatment professionals, hazardous waste specialists, and biologists.
Although conceived as a comprehensive monograph, the book could also be used as a text or reference for environmental chemistry classes at the undergraduate or graduate level.

CHOICE Review

Larson and Weber's concise, well-written overview treats a variety of mechanisms of organic reactions occurring under environmental (i.e., aqueous) conditions. The first chapter provides an outline of the translocation and physical transformations of organic compounds in air, water, soils, and sediments. The rest of the book discusses in great detail the major types of organic reactions that are of environmental importance: hydrolyses, reductions, oxidations, organic-disinfectant reactions, photochemistry, and molecular cyclizations and rearrangements. There are ample figures and diagrams as well as numerous organic structures and clearly detailed mechanisms. The text appears to be remarkably free of error and includes hundreds of references at the end of each of the seven chapters. The chapter "Reactions with Disinfectants" is particularly timely in terms of the current interest in and concern over the presence of organic compounds in potable water. Of special note is the fact that the authors have cross-listed many of the organic compounds in the index. For organic chemists interested in the environment, and for environmental chemists interested in environmental organic chemistry. Upper-division undergraduate through professional. H. T. McKone; Saint Joseph College
