Organic Chemistry by Pierre Vogel

Organic Chemistry by Pierre Vogel

Provides the background, tools, and models required to understand organic synthesis and plan chemical reactions more efficiently Knowledge of physical chemistry is essential for achieving successful chemical reactions in organic chemistry. Chemists must be competent in a range of areas to understand organic synthesis. Organic Chemistry provides the methods, models, and tools necessary to fully comprehend organic reactions. Written by two internationally recognized experts in the field, this much-needed textbook fills a gap in current literature on physical organic chemistry. Rigorous yet straightforward chapters first examine chemical equilibria, thermodynamics, reaction rates and mechanisms, and molecular orbital theory, providing readers with a strong foundation in physical organic chemistry. Subsequent chapters demonstrate various reactions involving organic, organometallic, and biochemical reactants and catalysts. Throughout the text, numerous questions and exercises, over 800 in total, help readers strengthen their comprehension of the subject and highlight key points of learning. The companion Organic Chemistry Workbook contains complete references and answers to every question in this text. A much-needed resource for students and working chemists alike, this text: -Presents models that establish if a reaction is possible, estimate how long it will take, and determine its properties -Describes reactions with broad practical value in synthesis and biology, such as C-C-coupling reactions, pericyclic reactions, and catalytic reactions -Enables readers to plan chemical reactions more efficiently -Features clear illustrations, figures, and tables -With a Foreword by Nobel Prize Laureate Robert H. Grubbs Organic Chemistry: Theory, Reactivity, and Mechanisms in Modern Synthesis is an ideal textbook for students and instructors of chemistry, and a valuable work of reference for organic chemists, physical chemists, and chemical engineers.

"Ich bin von diesem Buch begeistert, weil es mir als Dozenten eine unglaubliche Fülle an aktuellem Material zu Mechanismen und zu theoretischen Behandlung von organischen Reaktionen bietetAls direktes Lehrbuch für einen M.Sc. Kurs ist es aufgrund des hochverdichteten Stoffes und der unglaublichen Datenmenge für Studierende nicht geeignet. Aufgrund der zahllosen Details gerät das große Ganze, das man in einer Lehrveranstaltung vermitteln möchte, etwas aus dem Blick. Ausschnittsweise könnte man es für einen Doktorandenkurs einsetzen. Es ist jedoch ein phantastisches Nachschlagewerk, das wir mit mehreren Exemplaren gerne in der Bibliothek und auch in meiner Abteilung vorhalten."
Prof. Dr. Michael Schmittel, Universität Siegen

Professor Kendall Houk is Saul Winstein Professor at the UCLA. He is an authority on theoretical and computational organic chemistry. His group develops rules to understand reactivity, computationally models complex organic reactions, and experimentally tests the predictions of theory. He collaborates prodigiously with chemists all over the world. He has published nearly 1100 articles in refereed journals and is among the 100 most-cited chemists.

Professor Pierre Vogel is Professor of organic chemistry at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. He has published three books and has co-authored more than 490 publications in the fields of physical organic chemistry, organic and organometallic synthesis, total asymmetric synthesis of natural products of biological interest, catalysis, glycochemistry and bio-organic chemistry.
