Radical Reactions provides the reader a brief overview of radical reactions, an overview overlooked in most undergraduate chemistry curriculums. Most of the exciting developments in the field of radical and radical ion chemistry came about because someone understood the fundamentals and was able to design new chemistry based upon that understanding. The target audience is individuals who have had at least one semester of organic chemistry.

Nathan Price is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Chemistry at Virginia Tech with Prof. J. M. Tanko. He received his B.S. in Chemistry from Roanoke College in 2019. His research interests include mechanism discovery and the characterization of radical intermediates. He is currently working on the development of a novel single electron transfer mechanism for the reaction of monoamine oxidase with substrates related to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP).

J. M. (Jim) Tanko is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Virginia Tech. He received his B.A. in Chemistry from UMBC, Ph.D. at Iowa State with Prof. Glen A. Russell, and was a postdoctoral researcher at Penn State with Prof. Philip S. Skell. His research interests involve electrochemical studies addressing the mechanism and kinetics of radical ion rearrangements and nanosecond laser flash photolysis to measure rate constants of reactions involving oxygen-centered radicals. Most recently, his group has turned its attention to the mechanism of the monoamine oxidase catalyzed oxidations of compounds related to the neurotoxin MPTP.
