Organic Chemistry 4th edition provides a comprehensive, yet accessible treatment of all the essential organic chemistry concepts covered in a two-semester course. The textbook includes all the concepts covered in a typical organic chemistry textbook but is unique in its skill development approach to the subject. Presented with a skills-based approach that bridges the gap between organic chemistry theory and real-world practice, the book places special emphasis on developing the problem-solving skills through applied exercises and activities. Numerous hands-on activities and real-world examples are integrated throughout the text to help students understand both the “why” and the “how” behind organic chemistry.
This international adapted edition offers new and updated content with improved presentation of all course material. The text adopts greater focus on retrosynthetic strategies for synthesis and skill-building. Some of the chapters include updates in nomenclature, structural presentation, mechanisms, kinetic data and recent developments in synthesis and applications. The book presents ample opportunity for practice and assessment with numerous practice problems, review questions, SkillBuilder activities, and up-to-date literature-based problems.
This book and series is authorized for sale in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand only and may not be exported. The content is comprehensively adapted to international requirements and materially different from similar products for other markets including the authorized U.S. counterpart of this title.
