Mechanisms of Organic Reactions (Oxford Chemistry Primers)

I recommend buying "Foundations of Organic Chemistry" (same publisher) instead. This book is way to brief to be very helpful. There are lots of things missing. I do not recommend. The best book on mechanisms, however, is "The Art of Writing Reasonable Reaction Mechanisms".

Good for reviewing reactions if you already know them

Super value. Many thanks.

This is a well written, succint and accesible introduction to the most basic mechanisms of organic chemical reactions. It does cover the fundamentals of Nucleophilic substitution in aliphatic (non-aromatic) compounds and also provides a general overview of mechanisms of addition, both electrophilic and nucleophilic. The text offers relevant examples and step by step explanations which are useful and aid understanding of the subject.
