Radical Reactions in Organic Synthesis [Paperback]

Samir Zard provides a description of radical reactions and their applications in organic synthesis. This book shows that an with an elementary knowledge of kinetic and some common sense, it is possible to harness radicals into a tremendously powerful tool for solving synthetic problems.
