NEW, AUTHORITATIVE WORKS I ORGANIC REACTIVE INTERMEDIATES edited by S A M U E L P. M c M A N U S A Volume in the ORGANIC C H EMI ST R Y Series This book provides a selective, but comprehensive treatment of all the important reactive species that occur in the chemical reactions of organic compounds. F o r every class of intermediate, it offers a syste matic treatment of historical background, nomenclature, chemical scope and occurrence, structure and reactivity, observation by spectral methods, synthetic importance, and mechanistic consequences, In each case, the book cites specific examples to illustrate principles rather than giving a review-type coverage of every area. 1973, 550 pp., $39.50 CIRCLE NO. 610 ON READER SERVICE CARD
• ANNUAL REPORTS IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS—1971 edited by JOHN McMURRYandR. BR YAN MILLER This book presents abstracts of new synthetic reactions and techniques from the chemical literature. The first three chapters deal with func tional group synthesis and are organized by reaction type. Sub sequent chapters discuss methods of synthesizing heterocyclic systems —concentrating heavily on common, simple systems, the use of new protecting groups, and useful multistep sequences. 1972, 364pp.,$9.50 CIRCLE N O . 61 1 O N READER SERVICE CARD
I DICTIONARY OF CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING, Volume 2 by LOUIS DE VRIES and HELGA KOLB with the collaboration of JOACHIM THUSS This English/German technical dictionary provides chemists, en gineers, technical translators, and students with a comprehensive vocabulary of chemical and technical terms. I t includes all terms used in organic, inorganic, physical, pharmaceutical and electro chemistry, and provides detailed coverage of terms used in process technology. 1973,644pp.,$39.00 CIRCLE NO. 612 ON READER SERVICE CARD
I THE ORGANIC CHEMIST'S BOOK OF ORBITALS by WILLI AM L.JORGENSEN and LIONEL SALEM This book presents the first accurate three-dimensional pictures of molecular orbitals for 104 compounds of special significance to organic chemists—pictures that are easily recognized and interpreted in contrast to conventional two-dimensional maps. Chemists will now be able to clearly view actual three-dimensional forms of the Walsh orbitals of cyclopropane, τ and a orbitals of benzene, frontier orbitals of maleic anhydride non-bonding orbitals of radicals, and " h o l e s " of carbonium ions. Occupied valence orbitals, and at least one unoccupied orbital, arc provided for 100 of the compounds. 1973, 320pp., $ 11.50 (cloth), Î6.75 (paper) CIRCLE N O . 6 1 3 O N READER SERVICE CARD
I THEORY OF UNIMOLECULAR REACTIONS by W. FORST This book provides an up-to-date review of the principles and applications of the transition state version of the statistical theory of unimolecular reactions, also known as the Rice-Ramsperger-KasselMarcus ( R R K M ) or the quasi-equilibrium (QET) theory. This theory has been successful in interpreting a wealth of experimental data in a variety of gas phase experimental systems. The book shows how, under carefully stipulated conditions, this theory can be applied to any unimolecular reaction, regardless of mode of reactant excitation. It also shows how theoretical parameters are related to experimental observables, and deals at some length with the techniques used to obtain numerical answers. 1973, about 375 pp., in preparation CIRCLE NO. 614 ON READER SERVICE CARD
