Description
For ten editions, Organic Chemistry has been designed to meet the needs of the "mainstream," two-semester, undergraduate organic chemistry course. This best-selling text gives students a solid understanding of organic chemistry by stressing how fundamental reaction mechanisms function and reactions occur.
Prep for Organic Chemistry that is included in Connect access.
SmartBook with Learning Resources
Expanded coverage in four chapters covering Biochemical topics and biochemical applications integrated throughout the text
New to this edition – chirality was moved from chapter 7 to chapter 4.
Nucleophilic substitution, previously Chapters 4 and 8, is now covered in back-to-back in Chapters 5 and 6. This change makes for a tighter presentation in the early part of the book where mechanisms are first introduced.
A new chapter on the chemistry of free radicals has been added. This change improves topic flow in the first chapter on nucleophilic substitution and allows a more unified approach to free radical chemistry.
