CCLers,
Can anyone recommend a good text on mechanistic organic chemistry that contains the following:

1) a good review of thermodynamics, esp. as it relates to reaction courses.

2) A detailed description of reaction courses, how they're presented and perhaps mention of computational methods to obtain structures and energies.

3) A presentation of the major classes of reaction types (e.g. substitution, addition, etc.) using both traditional reaction diagrams, as well as, computational methods used to examine classical reaction mechanisms.

Any suggestion would be welcome; thanks.
