The book emphasizes that derivation of a mechanism is not a theoretical procedure, but a means of applying knowledge of other similar reactions and reaction conditions to the new reaction.
- Brief summaries of required basic knowledge of organic structure, bonding, stereochemistry, resonance, tautomerism, and molecular orbital theory
- Definitions of essential terms
- Typing and classification of reactions
- Hints (rules) for deriving the most likely mechanism for any reaction
