Reaction mechanism historical background

First of all, a historical background of EGA is briefly mentioned. In 1972, Mayeda and Miller had proposed an alternative mechanism to that by Nyberg for the reaction shown in Eq. (1) and suggested the possibility of EGA-catalysis. Acetamide 3... 

The book covers many varied and useful reactions for the synthesis of complex molecules, and in a remarkably clear, authoritative and balanced way, considering that only two pages are allocated for each. This is done with unusual rigor and attention to detail. Packed within each two-page section are historical background, a concise exposition of reaction mechanism and salient and/or recent applications. The context of each example is made crystal clear by the inclusion of the structure of the final synthetic target. The referencing is eclectic but extensive and up to date important reviews are included. 

A review is presented of the literature on the protection of rubber against ozone. Particular attention is paid to the historical background, ozone formation, chemistry of the ozone-rubber reaction, physical requirements for ozone cracking, physical methods of ozone protection, chemical antiozonants, chemical antioxonants for polychloroprene, mechanism of action of chemical antiozonants, chemistry of the reaction of ozone and p-phenylenediamine, free-radical mechanism, and critical stress and antiozonants. 88 refs.
