Since its original appearance in 1977, Advanced Organic Chemistry
has found wide use as a text providing broad coverage of the
structure, reactivity and synthesis of organic compounds. The Fourth
Edition provides updated material but continues the essential elements
of the previous edition. The material in Part A is organized on the
basis of fundamental structural topics such as structure,
stereochemistry, conformation and aromaticity and basic mechanistic
types, including nucleophilic substitution, addition reactions,
carbonyl chemistry, aromatic substitution and free radical reactions.
The material in Part B is organized on the basis of reaction type with
emphasis on reactions of importance in laboratory synthesis. As in the
earlier editions, the text contains extensive references to both the
primary and review literature and provides examples of data and
reactions that illustrate and document the generalizations. While the
text assumes completion of an introductory course in organic chemistry,
it reviews the fundamental concepts for each topic that is discussed.
The Fifth Edition updates certain topics that have advanced rapidly in the decade since the Third Edition was published, including computational chemistry, structural manifestations of aromaticity, enantioselective reactions and lanthanide catalysis.
The two parts stand alone, although there is considerable cross-referencing. Part A emphasizes quantitative and qualitative description of structural effects on reactivity and mechanism. Part B emphasizes the most general and useful synthetic reactions. The focus is on the core of organic chemistry, but the information provided forms the foundation for future study and research in medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry, biological chemistry and physical properties of organic compounds.
