Aus einer Rezension: 'Dieses Hochschullehrbuch zeichnet sich durch außerordentliche Klarheit und Systematik des Denkens aus. Es ist geeignet, die theoretischen Grundlagen der organischen Chemie verständlich zu machen, und zwar aus neueren Erkenntnissen über den Atombau heraus. Das Buch ist seit seiner ersten deutschen Auflage (1964; englisches Original 1961) an deutschen Hochschulen außerordentlich erfolgreich und kann schon von Schülern (Leistungskurs der gymnasialen Oberstufe) genutzt werden...' ekz-Informationsdienst Die neue Auflage, diesmal wieder stark überarbeitet, enthält keine neuen Kapitel, wohl aber neue Themen. Dazu zählen die aromatische ipso- Substitution, die mechanistischen Grenzfälle der nucleophilen Substitution, die erweiterte Verwendung von Aktivierungsparametern und die Verwendung der 13C-Kernresonanzspektroskopie bei der Aufklärung von Biogenesewegen.
