Gajewski, Joseph J. (Department of Chemistry, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA)
Hydrocarbon Thermal Isomerizations" summarizes rearrangements which are induced by heating neutral hydrocarbons under non-catalytic conditions in the vapor phase or in non-polar solution. This subject has attracted the interest of mechanistic organic chemists and theorists in the last quarter century because it is one of the few fields workable by state of the art techniques of both camps. This work collects together most of the crucial rate a...
