Pericyclic Chemistry: An Orbital Mechanism and Novel Stereochemical Approach is a complete guide to the topic, ideal for graduate and advanced undergraduate students as well as researchers in organic chemistry. An introduction to molecular orbital theory and relevant stereochemical concepts are provided as background to the following chapters on pericyclic reactions. All four classes of pericyclic reactions are discussed and illustrated with orbital picture representations. The qualitative perturbation molecular orbital theory is incorporated as the most accessible and useful approach to understanding many aspects of reactivity and selectivity. Also included are chapters on cycloadditions, the most versatile class, and as well as electrocyclic reactions, sigmatropic rearrangements and group transfer reactions. A separate chapter on the construction of correlation diagrams is also included, emphasizing a practical, hands on approach. Author Dipak Kumar Mandal brings over 30 years of teaching experience to the topic and illuminates pericyclic chemistry with a clear and fresh perspective. Comprehensive guide featuring unifying mechanistic approaches, stereochemical details, and novel rules and mnemonics to delineate product stereochemistryIncludes two background chapters on molecular orbitals and stereochemical conceptsEmphasizes a theoretical understanding using perturbation theory (Salem-Klopman equation) and physical insights from orbital and state correlation analyses INDICE: 1.
