Electrocyclic Reactions: From Fundamentals to Research

Electrocyclic Reactions: From Fundamentals to Research

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
An innovative, fascinating approach to an in-depth-study of electrocyclic reactions, a special case of the pericyclic reaction class. Theoretical methods at four different levels, namely, orbital symmetry conservation, the frontier orbital approach, Moebius-Hueckel and more sophisticated quantum-chemical methods, are used for the mechanistic investigation of these so-called 'no-mechanism' reactions. Each chapter details the underlying physico-chemical principles in a simplified, easy-to-follow manner and discusses latest advances in the field. A deeper knowledge of quantum mechanics is not required. Computer aided lessons containing animated models visualize and, such way, help to understand even more difficult mechanisms.

From the Back Cover
F.L. Ansari, R. Qureshi, M.L. Qureshi Electrocyclic Reactions From Fundamentals to Research This book uses an innovative and fascinating approach for an in depth study of electrocyclic reactions. These reactions constitute an important class of pericyclic reactions. Mechanistic studies of these reactions are an important field of organic chemistry. Four different approaches, namely, orbital symmetry conservation, frontier orbital methods, Möbius Hückel and theoretical computational methods are used for the mechanistic investigations of the so called no mechanism reactions. Each chapter begins with the underlying physical concepts presented in a simplified and comprehensible manner and ends with the latest contemporary advances in the field. The most innovative aspect is the use of computer aided lessons for the conceptualization and visualization of these difficult concepts.
