SynopsisThis text presents an approach to organic chemistry which includes problem-solving hints, in-chapter problems, and end-of-chapter study problems. This fourth edition contains increased coverage of thiols and sulfides; polymer chemistry applications; and biological applications., For two-semester courses in Organic Chemistry taken primarily by science and pre-health majors. This text, organized with a traditional functional-group approach, applies the most modern teaching and pedagogical techniques to the study of organic chemistry. In a highly accessible fashion, this top-selling text bridges the gap between conceptual understanding and actual application while strongly emphasizing the development of problem-solving skills. Additionally, it provides up-to-date aspects of spectroscopy, relevant photographs, and many applications to polymer chemistry integrated throughout the text.
