Dispelling the notion that organic chemistry is an overwhelming, shapeless body of facts, this textbook provides students with a framework for organizing their approach to the course. By emphasizing the relationship between structure and function, the authors provide a framework for understanding mechanisms and reactions. Stressing the importance of synthetic strategies and biological and industrial applications, the text introduces students to real chemistry as it is actually practised. This fourth edition offers significant updates in coverage and learning tools and enhanced media support at the book's companion website.
