Rezensionen / Stimmen
Some praise for the previous edition:
"This is an excellent book for arrow pushing and learning organic name reactions as encountered in graduate school . . . Li's book contains reactions of all mechanistic classes . . . The book is nicely balanced, containing modern-day reactions for assembly of stereocomplex molecules. Reactions such as the Corey-Bakshi-Shibata reduction are analyzed. This book is a good reference text that fills a void that has existed for some time. It is both an excellent tool for learning and a good reference source."

From the reviews of the second edition:
"Different from other books on name reactions in organic chemistry this collection focuses on their mechanisms. . Each reaction is delineated by its detailed step-by-step, electron-pushing mechanism, supplemented with the original and latest references, especially review article. A good reference book for all chemists interested in name reactions." (Chemie - das österrechische Magazin für Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft, Vol. 104 (4), 2004)
"Li has produced the second edition, which includes an additional 16 name reactions, now providing over 300 name reactions . expanded and updated references; a better index; and a one-sentence description for most name reactions. . The best books are very reader friendly and this publication is heading in that direction. Organic chemistry researchers, students and teachers will make good use of this book." (Helmut Hügel, Chemistry in Australia, April, 2004)
"Different from other books on name reaction organic chemistry, Name Reactions, A Collection of Detailed Reaction Mechanisms focuses on their mechanisms. It covers over 300 classical as well as contemporary name reactions. . it is not only an indispensable resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students for their learning and exams, but also a good reference book for all chemists interested inname reactions."
