Linking Chemical Reaction Mechanisms with Mechanistic Toxicology

7 Linking Chemical Reaction Mechanisms with Mechanistic Toxicology 

Organic chemists, especially those engaged in synthesis, are acutely aware of reactions and their mechanisms, including substitutions, eliminations, additions to double bond, rearrangements and oxidation-reductions. These reactions are often classified by functional group for convenience and to illustrate patterns of chemical behaviour. The effect of structure on reactivity is crucial to understand mechanisms in both chemistry and toxicology.
