Most standard texts in basic organic chemistry require the student
to memorize dozens of organic reactions. This is certainly
necessary to master the discipline. Unfortunately, most texts do
not emphasize why these reactions occur and, just as important, why
other reactions that might seem conceivable to the student do not
occur. Without this understanding, students tend to forget what
they have memorized soon after the course is over. It is the
purpose of this book to familiarize the student with the principles
governing organic reactivity and to provide a "feel" for organic
chemistry that is impossible to secure by memory alone. Digesting
the ideas in this book will, we hope, not only explain the common
organic reactions but also allow the student to predict the prod
ucts and by-products of reactions he has never seen before. Indeed,
the creative student might even become capable of designing new
reactions as might be required in a complex organic synthesis. In
Chapter 1, we cover the basic principles including bonding, nuclear
charge, resonance effects, oxidation-reduction, etc. It is a brief
discussion, but it nonetheless provides the basis for understanding
reaction mechanisms th t will be treated later on. We highly
recommend that this material be reviewed and that the v VI PREFACE
problems be worked at the end of the chapter. Answers are given to
all problems. In Chapter 2, reaction mechanisms are presented in an
increas ing order of difficulty."
