Description
Summary:A companion to any introductory organic chemistry textbook, Arrow Pushing in Organic Chemistry defines the concept of arrow pushing in context with various reaction types, functional groups, mechanism types, reagents/nucleophiles, and leaving groups. The book explains the concepts of organic acids and organic bases, and then uses them to explain fundamental reaction mechanisms, beginning with SN2 reactions and progressing to SN1 reactions and other reaction types. It emphasizes electron flow from atom to atom; and includes a summary and problem sets with each chapter.
