This volume is the 38^th in this classical series. In every volume the content is divided in the different classes of organic reaction mechanisms: <ul> <li>Reaction of Aldehydes and Ketones and their Derivatives</li> <li>Reactions of Carboxylic, Phosphoric, and Sulfonic Acids and their Derivatives</li> <li>Oxidation and Reduction</li> <li>Carbenes and Nitrenes</li> <li>Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution</li> <li>Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution</li> <li>Carbocations</li> <li>Nucleophilic Aliphatic Substitution</li> <li>Carbanions and Electrophilic Aliphatic Substitution</li> <li>Elimination Reactions</li> <li>Radical Reactions</li> <li>Addition Reactions: Polar Addition</li> <li>Addition Reactions: Cycloadditions</li> <li>Molecular Rearrangements</li> </ul> <p>An experienced team of authors is compiling these reviews every year, so that the reader can rely on a continuing quality of selection and presentation. As a new service to the reader all reaction mechanisms leading to stereospecific products are highlighted. This reflects the needs of the organic synthetic community with leads to chiral reactions.</p> <p>Detailed author and subject indexes help the reader to find the information they are looking for.</p>
