Review '... a useful ... text for firstyear undergraduates.' Chemical Educator, Vol 7, No 6, 2002, p 388389.'Overall the material both in the book and on disc are very well presented ... provides an excellent learning environment which ... is structured to encourage independent learning.' Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, No 6, June 2003'... much to commend ... to the inquisitive sixthformer and also to the teacher ... cannot be more highly recommended.' School Science Review, Issue No 308, 2003 Product Description Alkenes and Aromatics examines the reaction mechanisms associated with carboncarbon double bonds, and then goes on to look at aromatic substitution (nitration, halogenation, sulfonation and Friedel Crafts reactions). The formation and reactions of diazonium ions are also discussed. This knowledge is then applied to the synthesis of pseudoephedrine, highlighting the key aspects of synthesis, such as yields, stereochemistry and reaction conditions. A Case Study on the organic chemical industry completes the book, providing a background as to why understanding organic reactions is so important. The Molecular World series provides an integrated introduction to all branches of chemistry for both students wishing to specialise and those wishing to gain a broad understanding of chemistry and its relevance to the everyday world and to other areas of science. The books, with their Case Studies and accompanying multimedia interactive CDROMs, will also provide valuable resource material for teachers and lecturers.
