"This concise text includes the principles of organic reaction mechanisms. This text offers a course module for undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemistry, especially organic chemistry. This text includes the most recent advances in organic reaction mechanisms, wherever required, mechanisms of organic name reactions have been included. This book is an invaluable aid to students as a supplement to their text books followed in their class room teaching." (jacket)
