"Student engagement in the study of chemistry has been our primary aim since the first edition of this book. We wanted to show you that chemistry is much more than an onerous obstacle in the journey toward your career goals. Through the Perspectives boxes in each chapter, we have tried to show that chemistry is a fascinating discipline that has an enormous impact on all aspects of your life-whether chemistry in the kitchen, investigations at a crime...

This book gives you sample tests to discover your strengths and weaknesses. Each chapter contains important review material.

'Arrow-Pushing in Organic Chemistry' helps make organic chemistry more approachable. Rather than relying on memorization, it presents generic examples so readers learn how to recognize when a specific reaction type is relevant.

For students of advanced organic chemistry, this text develops problem-solving skills using fifty-six challenging, organic chemistry problems covering a wide variety of chemical systems.

Your plain-English guide to understanding chemical reactions and tackling tests with ease.

Organic chemistry is the chemistry of compounds of carbon. The ability of carbon to link together to form long chain molecules and ring compounds, as well as bonding with many other elements, has led to a vast array of organic compounds. These compounds are central to life, forming the basis for organic molecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Here, the author highlights the vast range and properties of organic compounds,...

"Different from other books on name reactions in organic chemistry, "Name Reactions, A Collection of Detailed Reaction Mechanisms" focuses on their mechanisms. It covers over 300 classical as well as contemporary name reactions." "Each reaction is delineated by its detailed step-by-step, electron-pushing mechanism, supplemented with the original and the latest references, especially review articles. Thus, it is not only an indispensable resource for...
