This innovative text from acclaimed educator Paula Bruice is organized in a way that discourages rote memorization. It highlights mechanistic similarities and ties synthesis and reactivity together—teaching the reactivity of a functional group and the synthesis of compounds obtained as a result of that reactivity. Bruices writing has been praised for anticipating students questions and appeals to their need to learn visually and by solving problems. Emphasizing that students should reason their way to solutions rather than memorize facts, Bruice encourages students to think about what they have learned previously and apply that knowledge in a new setting. The text balances coverage of traditional topics with bioorganic chemistry, recognizing the importance of bioorganic topics to todays students.

Features |
|
|
-
Boxed materials bring life to the topic being discussed and provide extra motivation for you.
-
Retrosynthetic analysis is introduced in Chapter 5 so you can use this technique throughout the course to design multistep syntheses.
-
There are a lot of new terms you'll need to learn as you study organic chemistry.
-
Margin notes highlight and remind you of important principles, and biographical sketches help you appreciate the history of chemistry and the diverse people who contributed to it.
-
At the end of every chapter that discusses organic reactions is a summary of these reactions. Review these summaries and make sure that you can explain how each reaction occurs.
