Editorial Reviews

A text for an advanced graduate course in organic chemistry, covering the physical, synthetic, biochemical and industrial aspects of free radicals as reaction intermediates that allow many syntheses to be carried out under relatively mild conditions. First published in 1993 as Les radicaux libres en chimie organique by Masson, Paris. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
