March's Advanced Organic Chemistry : Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure

Leading reference on the theories of organic chemistry, now updated to reflect the most recent literature from 2018 to 2023 Building on the success of the 8th Edition as winner of the Textbook & Academic Authors Association 2021 McGuffey Longevity Award, the revised and updated 9th Edition of March's Advanced Organic Chemistry explains the theories of organic chemistry, covers new advances in areas of organic chemistry published between 2018 and 2023, and guides readers to plan and execute multi-step synthetic reactions.Detailed examples and descriptions of all reactions are included throughout the text.As in previous editions, the goal of this edition is to give equal weight to three fundamental aspects of the study of organic chemistry: reactions, mechanisms, and structure.Specific but specialized areas of organic chemistry, such as terpenes, polymerization, and steroids, have been incorporated into primary sections rather than segregated into their own sections.The first nine chapte
