Overview

Organic Chemistry Vol I introduces students to the main aspects of modern organic chemistry in a clear and thorough fashion. The text employs a student-oriented functional group approach to help students build and broaden their foundational knowledge within the discipline. The second edition of Organic Chemistry has been divided into two volumes. The first volume opens with chapters that cover bonding in organic compounds and an introduction to organic compounds, including functional groups, nomenclature, and representations of structure. Additional chapters address intermolecular and acid-base interaction, alkanes and cycloalkanes, methanol and ethanol, and alcohols. Students learn about types of bond cleavage, stereochemical principles, and carbon-carbon doubly bonded systems. Closing chapters are dedicated to the substitution and elimination reactions of haloalkanes, ethers and epoxides, and alkadienes and alkynes. The content supports mastery by providing clear explanations and problems that emphasize application and practice. Organic Chemistry Vol I is an ideal resource for semester-long courses in chemistry and organic chemistry.
