Name Reactions: A Collection of Detailed Mechanisms and Synthetic Applications, Sixth Edition

Name Reactions: A Collection of Detailed Mechanisms and Synthetic Applications, Sixth Edition

Jack Jie Li’s Name Reactions is built around mechanisms. It gathers more than 300 classical and contemporary named reactions in organic chemistry, each drawn out step by step with electron-pushing arrows. This listing is the name reactions sixth edition, from 2021.

Where many books on named reactions list conditions and products, this one puts the mechanism first, which is what students are asked to reproduce in exams.

New in the sixth edition

• Three or more synthetic applications added for name reactions, reflecting recent advances in organic chemistry
• Original references kept alongside the latest ones, with an emphasis on review articles

How each entry is laid out

Every reaction gets its detailed, step-by-step mechanism. The original literature and current references follow, so readers can trace a reaction from its first report to its modern use.

Advanced undergraduates and graduate students use it to learn reactions and prepare for exams. Organic chemists in industry and in academia keep it as a desk reference.

Who keeps a copy

Students revising for cumulative exams in organic chemistry use the mechanisms to test themselves, covering the arrows and redrawing them. Research chemists use the reference lists to find where a reaction was first described and how it has been applied since. Because the sixth edition dates from 2021, its references and applications reach further into recent literature than earlier editions.
