Organic Chemistry

Based on the development of understanding rather than rote learning, this book teaches introductory organic chemistry with an emphasis on the mechanistic approach. It shows students how, armed with an understanding of the underlying principles of why, where, and how a molecule reacts, they have the skills they need to tackle a wide range of unknown systems and problems with confidence. An accompanying website includes an instructor manual and powerpoint slides. This leads to an essential primer for chemistry students, students of life science, and medical majors.
