Summary

• "This book, written explicitly for graduate and postgraduate students of chemistry, provides an extensive coverage of various organic reactions and rearrangements with emphasis on their application in synthesis. A summary of oxidation and reduction of organic compounds is given in tabular form (correlation tables) for the convenience of students. The most commonly encountered reaction intermediates are dealt with.
• Applications of organic reagents illustrated with examples and problems at the end of each chapter will enable students to evaluate their understanding of the topic."--BOOK JACKET.

Subject
