organohalogen compound: References & Edit History

Basic works on organic chemistry that discuss organohalogen compounds include D.R. Bloch, Organic Chemistry Demystified (2006); and K. Peter C. Vollhard and Neil E. Schore, Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, 5th ed. (2007). Organohalogen compounds feature prominently in texts devoted to specific reaction mechanisms, most notably S.R. Hartshorn, Aliphatic Nucleophilic Substitution (1973); and William H. Saunders, Jr., and Anthony F. Cockerill, Mechanisms of Elimination Reactions (1973). The unique properties of organofluorine compounds are described in R.D. Chambers, Fluorine in Organic Chemistry, 2nd ed. (2003).
