Radical Chemistry: The Fundamentals (Oxford Chemistry Primers)

Another volume in the successful Oxford Chemistry Primers series. Number 91 cover radicals, reactive molecular fragments which may participate in chemical reactions and are frequently associated with disease, but are now recognized to be important in polymer synthesis. This text helps upper undergraduates understand the basics of radical chemistry in a modern context and how its is being used in organic synthesis, mediators of many disease conditions, and the control of enzyme action.
