Molecular Rearrangements in Organic Chemistry

Organic chemistry is a rapidly changing field and each year, new exciting advances are made.A deep understanding of the rearrangements and their mechanisms helps a student to appreciate as to how and why reactants go to products. The purpose of the present book is to incorporate advances in the area of rearrangement mechanisms which are the most elegant organic reaction mechanisms. The design of the present textbook is,therefore, to ensure that the student has an intellectual grasp of the subject to prepare him not only for his qualifying examination but for various competitive examinations as well. The best way to learn organic chemistry is by solving problems. In each chapter problems are presented not only to create thinking in students mind, but also also for the introduction of new material.
