Download this PDF book: Organic Chemistry: 100 Must-know Mechanisms: In Organic Chemistry by Roman Valiulin

This book summarizes 100 essential mechanisms in organic chemistry ranging from classical such as the Reformatsky Reaction from 1887 to recently elucidated mechanism such as the copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition. 

The reactions are easy to grasp, well-illustrated and underpinned with explanations and additional information.

Pedagogical Principles. At first, every body of knowledge that is new to us seems to have boundless complexity and creates the initial impression of incomprehensibility and even fear. 

Organic chemistry provides an excellent example of this phenomenon. The discipline is replete with complex and initially abstract concepts, as a result the information may seem overwhelming, particularly for the young chemist. 

But as with most new subjects, consistent study and practice reveals patterns, commonalities, rules, and an apparent logic. Eventually, an “architecture” becomes more appar- ent as we grow to become more experienced chemists. To develop this intuition, it requires close study, repetition, and breadth of exposure. 

A significant element of that learning is intrinsic and simply requires time and immersion. However, to help with the development of this intuition, an organic chemist would also be wise to focus on mechanisms for organic reactions as a foundation or anchoring point. This, in combination with deep study, can help organize knowledge into skill and expertise. 

An understanding of reaction mechanisms provides a solid foundation for the field and a scaffold for further study and life-long learning. Mechanisms are highly useful because they can logically explain how a chemical bond in a molecule was formed or broken and help to rationalize the formation of the final synthetic target or an unde- sired side-product. 

Moreover, as we parse an increasing number of mechanisms, we begin to see the similarities and an invisible conceptual “thread” then forms in our mind’s eye that was not previously apparent. 

It helps to organize thinking and brings sense to the otherwise foreign concepts such as reactive intermediates, transition states, charges, radicals, and mechanistic arrows.
