Beschreibung
Criteria of orbital symmetry conservation had a profound influence on mechanistic thinking in organic chemistry and are still commonly applied today. The author presents a coherent set of operational rules for the analysis of scope and reliability. It is written from the viewpoint of Orbital Correspondence Analysis in Maximum Symmetry (OCAMS). Its advantage lies in its provision of a coherent overview of the relation between symmetry and mechanism. For reasons of consistency, the book remains within the framework of molecular orbital theory.
Modern mechanistic thinking in organic chemistry is still influenced by the publication of Woodward and Hoffmann "Conservation of orbital symmetry" in 1965. The author explains the foundation of these rules coherently. He outlines the scope and limitations of the model with respect to recent experimental research. The book is written for students in chemistry.
