Organic Chemistry Vol 1 The fundamental principles (6th Edition) by I. L Finar:-

This book has been revised to bring it up to date. At the same time, I have rewritten many sections on mechanisms, the added material being an elementary account of the sort of evidence that has led workers to suggest the mechanisms that are acceptable at the present time. This treatment should be more interesting to the reader and will give him a better understanding of this branch of organic chemistry.

Expanded subjects include quantum numbers, resonance, free radicals, 1.2-shifts, allylic rearrangements, substitution at a saturated carbon atom, Walden inversion, hyperconjugation, the Diels-Alder reaction, aromaticity, aromatic substitution, configuration of oximes, etc. Additional matter includes shapes of molecules, structure, and reactivity, the transition state theory of reactions, correlation and specification of configuration, ion-pairs, neighboring group participation; molecular overcrowding, mechanisms of hydrolysis and esterification, Wittig reaction, hydroboration, kinetically and thermodynamically controlled products, the principle of microscopic reversibility, methylenes, Newman projection formulae, new reagents, etc.
