Preface to the Fourth Edition
The goal of this text is to build on the foundation of anic chemistry to
provide students and other readers a deeper understanding of structure and mechanism and
the relationships between them. We have provided speci®c data and examples with which
to illustrate the general principles that are discussed. Our purpose is to solidify the
student's understanding of the basic concepts,but also to illustrate the way speci®c
structural changes in¯uence mechanism and reactivity.
The ®rst three chapters discuss fundamental bonding theory,stereochemistry,and
conformation,respectively. Chapter 4 discusses the means of study and description of
reaction mechanisms. Chapter 9 focuses on aromaticity and aromatic stabilization and can
be used at an earlier stage of a course if an instructor desires to do so. The other chapters
discuss speci®c mechanistic types,including nucleophilic substitution,polar additions and
eliminations,carbon acids and enolates,carbonyl chemistry,aromatic substitution,
concerted reactions,free-radical reactions,and photochemistry.
