Pericyclic Reactions – A Textbook

Based on twelve years of teaching a graduate course, this long awaited textbook presents Diels-Alder reactions, electrocyclic reactions, sigmatropic rearrangements plus many more topics in a highly didactic way. Throughout the focus is on the important facts and aspects, with both classical and new examples explained in detail.

The only up-to-date work of its kind on the market, this is an invaluable tool for students and lecturers in chemistry, organic chemists, and libraries.

With a foreword by Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffmann.
