Introduction to Organic Chemistry

This book enables readers to see the connections in organic chemistry and understand the logic.

• Reaction mechanisms are grouped together to reflect logical relationships.
• Discusses organic chemistry as it is applied to real-world compounds and problems.
• Electrostatic potential plots are added throughout the text to enhance the recognition and importance of molecular polarity.
• Presents problems in a new “Looking-Ahead” section at the end of each chapter that show how concepts constantly build upon each other.
• Converts many of the structural formulas to a line-angle format in order to make structural formulas both easier to recognize and easier to draw.
