Rearrangements in Organic Chemistry

Contents: 1. Rearrangements induced by bases for electron rich sites. 2. Rearrangements induced by cationic or electron deficient sites. 3. Rearrangements of electron deficient heteroatoms. 4. Rearrangements of acyl carbenes.

This describes various types of molecular rearrangements and their application in organic chemistry. This provides wealth of information about organic reaction mechanism and organic synthesis. (jacket)
