"There is a wealth of good information here, but the book is more likely to be found in the library rather than on a private bookshelf." (SYNTHESIS, December 2007) ‘This addition to this well established series continues to fill an established need to many organic chemists who do not have the time to read the ever expanding literature in the subject.’ (Chemistry & Industry,28  May 2007)"...this volume of Organic Reaction Mechanisms contains a wealth of information in a well structured and accessible format."  (Synthesis, 2007)
