Aromatic Chemistry (Basic Concepts In Chemistry)

This product is not available separately, it is only sold as part of a set. There are 750 products in the set and these are all sold as one entity. This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive account of aromatic chemistry. A series of chapters describes the synthesis and reactions of the major functional derivatives of benzene and the more common polycyclic systems. The concept of aromaticity and the mechanism of aromatic substitution are discussed, as is the use of metals in the synthesis of aromatic compounds. Throughout, emphasis is placed on mechanisms. Worked problems and questions are provided to aid understanding. In addition to providing material required by an undergraduate studying chemistry, Aromatic Chemistry is also ideal for industrial chemists seeking to update their knowledge of this important aspect of chemistry. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major new series consisting of short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic principles underlying a given subject, embodying an independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples 1. Aromaticity -- 1.1.

Each book provides a concise account of the basic principles underlying a given subject, embodying an independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples Aromatic chemistry, in terms of the production of derivatives of benzene and, to a less extent, other carbocyclic aromatic compounds, is of immense industrial importance and is the mainstay of many chemical companies. Derived products are in general use across such diverse industries as pharmaceuticals, dyestuiTs, and polymers.The aromatic chemistry required by an undergraduate in chemistry, biochemistry, materials science and related disciplines is assembled in this text, which also provides a link to other aspects of organic chemistry and a platform for further study. In line with the series style, a number of worked problems and a selection of questions designed to help the student to understand the principles described are included.
