The study of carbocations-the key intermediates in a wide range of acid-catalyzed organic synthetic reactions-allows chemists to understand how and why reactions occur. This in turn can provide valuable insights into the design and structure of new synthetic chemical pathways. Presenting the latest advances in the chemistry of carbocations. Carbocation Chemistry is a comprehensive, self-contained reference on this vital topic. Edited by George Olah, the 1994 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, and Surya Prakesh, one of the most active researchers in the field, the text features contributions from today's most influential and renowned carbocation experts. This important volume provides chemists with:
The study of carbocation chemistry has become one of the most fascinating and fruitful areas in organic chemistry. Carbocation Chemistry assembles the most current information on this wide-ranging topic, and is an indispensable reference for academics and practitioners around the world-and across the scientific spectrum. |
