Summary

Surveys research on organic reaction mechanisms described in the literature dated December 1995 to November 1996. This is the thirty second volume in this highly successful and well respected series that provides a guide to all the most recent developments in organic chemistry. Each year researchers discover new mechanisms for the synthesis of all types of organic compounds. This volume as in previous years includes such mechanisms as addition and elimination reactions, nucleophilic and electrophilic aromatic substitutions and molecular rearrangements. Each chapter deals with specific reaction types, reviewing the year's developments in the area and is extensively referenced to previous volumes and primary journals. Author and subject indexes are also provided for rapid searching.
