The book is organized in two sections: The Toolbox and the Problem Chest. The first part is presented in four chapters covering advanced contemporary issues of molecular structure and orbital configuration, stereoelectronic constraints, electron shifts, redeployment and arrow-pushing allowances and pitfalls, as well as functional groups roles and key intermediate species, all of which dominate the reaction mechanism scenario. These concepts are rounded up by a series of time-tested problem analysis strategies and thinking routes shown in flowcharts and illustrated by application to specific cases.\u003cbr\u003e The Problem Chest puts together a set of 50 newly selected fully discussed mechanism problems of increasing difficulty, in which all the power of the Toolbox paraphernalia is put to work. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow in its third edition, \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Problem Solving in Organic Chemistry\u003c\/i\u003e retains the structure of previous editions, previously rated among the 30 best organic chemistry books of all time by BookAuthority.
