Solomons and Fryhle present this comprehensive subject through revamped pedagogy in order for students to learn and retain the fundamentals of organic chemistry with ease. This text keeps students engaged by first explaining what organic chemistry is, then discussing how it works, and finally exploring everyday topics to convey how it applies. Also, with over 200 visually enhanced end of chapter exercises and a multitude of new solved problems and review problems, students are given plenty of opportunities to hone their skills in analysis, problem-solving and critical thinking.
New to this edition:
- New coverage of modern organometallic carbon-carbon bond forming reactions.
- Reorganization of carbonyl chemistry chapters to emphasize current synthetic techniques.
- "Key Ideas" bullet points are located throughout the text so that students can identify and focus on the key elements of Organic
Chemistry.
- Step by Step "How to" instructions guide students while determining formal charges, writing Lewis structures, interpreting 13C
spectra and using 1HNMR to determine structure and more.
- New themes applied in each chapter which relate subject matter to everyday life.
- Updated test bank is available online.
- Online teaching and learning solution : WileyPLUS w/Catalyst
