Informationen zum Autor Pierre Laszlo is an emeritus professor of chemistry at the University of Liege, Belgium, and the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris. Of his many published works, six have been translated into English. Klappentext Written by one of the world's leading researchers and teachers in organic chemistry, this book focuses on the living core of chemistry, organic synthesis. A rational treatment allows an economical presentation of both the theory and the actual procedures for synthetic pathways. Organic Reactions: Simplicity and Logic ? the student's and lecturer's ideal companion, provides: a superb overview of organic reactions a rigorous introduction to the underlying theoretical concepts insight into the logic and simplicity underpinning organic synthesis biographies of, and mini-essays devoted to, great scientists who have shaped chemistry and biochemistry examples of industrial organic chemistry an easy-to-read, well-written, highly illustrated text an essential learning tool for chemistry, biochemistry and polymer science courses Organic Reactions: Simplicity and Logic presents a lucid introduction to organic synthesis which will appeal to students and lecturers in organic, medicinal, pharmaceutical and industrial chemistry as well as biochemistry, polymer and materials science.
