Short description
All students of organic chemistry must learn reaction mechanisms, theory, and principles. But what is the relevance of this knowledge? Here at last, Mark M. Green and Harold A. Wittcoff have written a unique textbook that connects the principles of organic chemistry to the practice of industry. The book places industrial chemistry in a historical context, provides valuable otherwise inaccessible information and includes anecdotes from the authors' vast experience. This text intended to be used together with one of the excellent undergraduate organic chemistry texts or standing alone for more advanced students is a must-have for every student, lecturer, and teacher of organic chemistry.
