What is Organic Reactions And Orbital Symmetry (cambridge Texts In Chemistry And Biochemistry) about?

From the preface to the first edition:The application of the concept of orbital symmetry to organic chemistry by R. B. Woodward and R. Hoffmann has proved to be a major theoretical advance, in that it has succeeded in bringing together and rationalising diverse areas of the subject. In particular it has provided the basis for a unified mechanistic approach to cycloadditions and molecular rearrangements; partly as a result of the stimulus of the new theory, the importance of such reactions is now rightly recognised. For historical reasons these reactions have not usually been treated as fully as their importance warrants in student texts. Now that the concept of orbital symmetry control is well established it seems to an account of these reactions within a modern appropriate present mechanistic framework. The major part of this book (chapters 3 to 7) is devoted to a descriptive account of rearrangements and cycloadditions. The aim has been to illustrate the scope and synthetic utility of the reactions as well as to discuss their mechanisms. Chapter | gives an introduction to the types of mechanisms by which such reactions can occur, and to the experimental methods available for esta
