Organic Chemistry Structure and Function, International Edition

With authors who are both accomplished researchers and educators, Vollhardt and Schore's Organic Chemistry has proven effective for making contemporary organic chemistry accessible, introducing cutting-edge research in a fresh, student-friendly way. A wealth of unique study tools help students organize and understand the substantial information presented in this course. In the sixth edition, the themes of understanding reactivity, mechanisms, and synthetic analysis to apply chemical concepts to realistic situations has been strengthened. New applications of organic chemistry in the life sciences, industrial practices, green chemistry, and environmental monitoring and clean-up are incorporated to keep the book up to date on these increasingly important topics. The book is supported by a companion website (www.whfreeman.com/vollhardtschore6e), which offers students a range of tools for problem-solving and chemical exploration, including molecular modelling questions, online quizzes, animations, and lecture videos from Peter Vollhardt.
