Organic Reaction Mechanisms 2003: An Annual Survey Covering the Literature Dated January to December 2003

In order to plan new organic syntheses the chemist has to understand organic reaction mechanisms. The latest volume in this Series highlights the new mechanisms published in the 2003 literature. An experienced team of authors compiles these reviews every year, so that the reader can rely on a continuing quality of selection and presentation.Content:
