This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive account of
aromatic chemistry. A series of chapters describes the synthesis
and reactions of the major functional derivatives of benzene and
the more common polycyclic systems. The concept of aromaticity and
the mechanism of aromatic substitution are discussed, as is the use
of metals in the synthesis of aromatic compounds. Throughout,
emphasis is placed on mechanisms. Worked problems and questions are
provided to aid understanding. In addition to providing material
required by an undergraduate studying chemistry, Aromatic Chemistry
is also ideal for industrial chemists seeking to update their
knowledge of this important aspect of chemistry. Ideal for the
needs of undergraduate chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts
is a major new series consisting of short, single topic or modular
texts concentrating on the fundamental areas of chemistry taught in
undergraduate science courses. Each book provides a concise account
of the basic principles underlying a given subject, embodying an
independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples.

Functional Group Chemistry presents the chemistry of functional
groups with an emphasis on patterns of reactivity, the consequences
of the relative electronegativity of the atoms that constitute
functional groups, the role of lone pairs and the stereochemistry
of reactions at a particular group. The material is presented in
four chapters. The first chapter describes some of the general
principles that affect the reactivity of functional groups. The
second chapter examines the chemistry of functional groups
involving - C-X bonds as in alkyl halides, alcohols, ethers, amines
and organometallic reagents. The third chapter covers the chemistry
of both symmetrical and unsymmetrical -bonded functional groups,
typified by alkenes and carbonyl groups. The final chapter
concentrates on aromatic compounds. It is concerned with the
interactions between an aromatic ring and functional groups that
are attached to it, such as their effect on the orientation of
aromatic substitution. Each chapter concludes with a series of
problems. The chemistry of the functional groups is considered here
with a mechanistic rationale. Students are encouraged to consider
the reactivity of functional groups in terms of their regions of
electron deficiency and excess, and hence to identify the sites at
which nucleophiles and electrophiles might react. Additional

Stereochemistry is defined as the study of the three-dimensional
structure of molecules. Stereochemical considerations are important
in both isomerism and studies of the mechanisms of chemical
reactions. Implicit in a mechanism is the stereochemistry of the
reaction: in other words, the relative three-dimensional
orientation of the reacting particles at any time in the reaction.
Concentrating on organic chemistry, early chapters deal mainly with
definitions of terms such as chirality, enantiomers,
diastereoisomers and racemization, complete with suitable examples
to illustrate key concepts. Use of a polarimeter and associated
definitions are described, together with two different conventions
D, L and R, S for specification of configuration. Chirality without
a stereogenic centre, in molecules such as allenes for example, is
also covered. The distinction between conformation and
configuration is developed to include assignment of configurations
to di-substituted cyclohexanes and to the decalins. The conventions
E, Z and Re, Si are introduced for sp2 hybridized carbons as found
in alkenes and carbonyl compounds. Diastereotopic groups are
discussed. Aspects of stereochemistry are explored through
consideration of addition reactions to alkenes and carbonyl groups,
nucleophilic substitution, and reactions (and interactions)
involved in the resolution of racemic mixtures. Additional material
