Arene Chemistry (eBook)

Jacques Mortier, PhD, is Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Maine in Le Mans (France), where he teaches classes on Industrial Organic Chemistry and Reaction Mechanisms in Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Chemistry. Dr. Mortier started his career as a research chemist in the crop protection industry. At the University of Maine, his research is focused on various topics dealing with polar organometallics, directed aromatic metalation methodologies, and the study of reaction mechanisms. He has extensive experience as a consultant for the chemical industry. In recognition of his research expertise, he was distinguished as a member of the University Institute of France (IUF).

"The broad covering of topics, made possible by the collaboration of world-renowned experts in different
fields of organic chemistry and by a good balance in depth of coverage, positions [this book] as a deskbook that would be extremely useful for students of advanced courses of organic chemistry, instructors and professors, as well as experienced chemists in both academy and industry, and to those interested in arene chemistry and its application." -- Chemistry International
