Reagents and Reaction Mechanism Questions and Answer for CSIR NET, GATE, IIT JAM
Welcome to your Chemarticle in a new article on the reaction and reagent question-answer series for a beginner to advance level Examination aspirant. We talked about the conceptual question and answer series for CSIR NET GATE IIT JAM and other entrance examinations like DRDO, NTPC, BHU, DU, NIPER, etc. This session starts on the Reagent -Chemclip.com website you can follow the link given below.

Preparation of Reagents and Reaction Chemistry
The reagent and their reaction mechanism are important in organic chemistry for any national-level examination aspect. First of all, we have to release the session for learning from beginner to Advanced. We hope that it is helpful for your exam preparation. Reagents and Reaction mechanism Topic-wise discussion.

What is the best book for reagents and reaction chemistry?
We have to suggest the best book for reaction and reagents as a textbook Clayden is good for beginners and corresponds to advanced students. Clayden's book on Organic synthesis is clear on the concept of the reaction mechanism of basic knowledge under the organic chemistry success organolithium catalyzed, organometallic catalyzed, and any other nucleophile and basic reagents Which are commonly used in a regular organic reaction.
And another book for advanced-level students and research fellows following this book is Carruthers book for modern organic synthesis.
One of the most famous and popular books is A Guide to Mechanisms in organic synthesis by Peter Sykes. This book is good for any beginner-level student's purpose to learn and concept clearing under the reaction mechanism.
We have to suggest three reaction mechanisms with the reagents book for a beginner are
- Clayden's book for Organic synthesis
- Carruthers book for modern organic synthesis
- A Guide to Mechanisms in organic synthesis by Peter Sykes
