Organic Reaction Mechanisms 2001: An Annual Survey Covering the Literature Dated January to December 2001

This annual series on organic reaction mechanisms research provides concise, comprehensive coverage of the year's literature as well as discussions of important results, each volume is extensively referenced to previous volumes and primary journals.            This the 37th book in the series will survey research on organic reaction mechanisms described in the literature between December 1999 to November 2000.  As in previous volumes new mechanisms for the synthesis of all types of organic compounds will be included as well as such mechanisms as addition and elimination reactions, nucleophilic and electrophilic aromatic substitutions and molecular arrangements.Content: Chapter 1 Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones and Their Derivatives (pages 1–41): B.
