The authors’ philosophy is to emphasize mechanisms and their common aspects as often as possible, and at the same time use the unifying features of functional groups as the basis for most sections. To accomplish this, the content is organized in a way that combines the most useful features of a functional group approach with one largely based on reaction mechanisms. Organic Chemistry prepares students for success in the organic classroom and beyond by emphasizing the relationship between structure and reactivity.
By Graham Solomons, Craig Fryhle, and Scott Snyder
