Nuts and Bolts of Organic Chemistry: A Student's Guide to Success,

The Nuts and Bolts of Organic Chemistry helps students prepare for Organic Chemistry. This text is designed for students to use early in the course before they dive too far into a traditional textbook or as a reference text when studying for the MCAT. It prepares students to think about and use the fundamental concepts of organic chemistry. The text helps convince students that rote memorization is not the right way to approach the course; instead, they should master fundamental concepts and important reaction mechanisms. By following the same philosophy as those who write the MCAT exams, Karty focuses on improving students thinking ability and powers of logical deduction. For Sale in Indian subcontinent onlyFeatures Applications are presented at the end of each chapter to exhibit the utility of fundamental concepts and show how they are related to each other. Chapters organized by fundamental concept instead of functional group to give students a coherent story of reactivity and reactions in organic chemistry. Mechanisms are introduced later in the text so students can apply their knowledge of fundamental concepts to reaction mechanisms.
