Spectroscopic problems in organic chemistry. Volume 1 (Cairns, T.)

The Cairns memorial lecture: the Cairns tradition.

The aims embedded in the activities of the Sir Hugh Cairns Memorial Trust-to stimulate original work, to enable young people to travel and be exposed to work going on in centres overseas, and to prevent the isolation of neurosurgery from the wider aspects ofmedicine, reflect many of Sir Hugh Cairns' own precepts. It is therefore suitable to review some aspects of his personality and life-work, ...

Organic chemistry in water.

Water has emerged as a versatile solvent for organic chemistry in recent years. Water as a solvent is not only inexpensive and environmentally benign, but also gives completely new reactivity. The types of organic reactions in water are broad including pericyclic reactions, reactions of carbanion equivalent, reactions of carbocation equivalent, reactions of radicals and carbenes, transition-met...

Symmetry in Organic Chemistry

Separation in Organic Chemistry

Separation methods used in organic chemistry are briefly reviewed, emphasis being placed on aspects that are frequently ignored, and special attention being paid to the analytical applications of separation. The relevance of physical, inorganic and analytical chemistry for organic chemistry is stressed. The term 'separation' can be used in analytical chemistry in both a literal and figurative s...
