Organic Chemistry Pearls of Wisdom

This book will help you to improve your knowledge base in Organic Chemistry. A few words are appropriate in discussing intent, format, limitations and use. Primarily intended as a study aid, the text is written in a rapid-fire question/answer format. This way, readers receive immediate gratification. Moreover, misleading or confusing 'foils' are not provided. Questions themselves often contain a 'pearl' intended to reinforce the answer. Additional 'hooks' may be attached to the answer in various forms, including mnemonics, visual imagery, repetition, and humour. Additional information, not requested in the question, may be included in the answer. Emphasis has been placed on distilling trivia and key facts that are easily overlooked, quickly forgotten and that somehow seem to be needed on MCAT, DAT, OAT and similar examinations.
