Organic Chemistry

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Ninth Edition, is a student-friendly,  cutting-edge introduction for chemistry, health and biological sciences  majors. The text aligns pedagogically with the way today’s students  approach complicated material. In addition to featuring unified  mechanistic themes, focused problem-solving, applied pharmaceutical  problems and biological examples, the new edition takes a unique,  step-by-step approach to reaction mechanisms, emphasizing similarities  among mechanisms using four traits: breaking a bond, making a new bond,  adding a proton and taking a proton away. The text also includes  pull-out organic chemistry reaction roadmaps organized by chapter to  help students devise their own reaction pathways. Emphasizing practical  “how-to” skills, the new edition is packed with challenging synthesis  problems, medicinal chemistry problems and unique roadmap problems, with  hundreds of detailed solutions to all in-chapter exercises to guide  students through logical approaches to solving problems of various  types. New point-by-point summaries at the beginning of each section  highlight important content in a way that is easy for students to review  and reference, while in-margin definitions and highlighted integral  concepts reinforce key content throughout the text.
