How to Succeed in Organic Chemistry

An honest, motivating, and supportive guide to the essential principles of organic reaction mechanisms, which ingrains in the reader all the skills needed to be successful in their studies.

''How to succeed in organic chemistry'' gives the reader a solid understanding of the principles of organic reaction mechanisms, such that they can draw structures, stereoisomers and reaction mechanisms with confidence. Throughout, the author speaks the language of students to build their confidence and interest.At heart, the book promotes active learning to ensure the necessary skills become so ingrained that they become something students simply cannot forget, and do not need to revise. As such, the book structures learning so that the reader encounters the right things at the right time, helping to ''internalise'' key concepts.Concepts, explanations and examples are presented in short, easy-to-read chapters, each of which explores one of a number of themes, including ''Basics'', ''Habits'', ''Common error'', ''Reaction detail'', and ''Practice''.Digital formats and resources How to Succeed in Organic Chemistry is supported by online resources and is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats.- The e-book includes more than 60 author videos which are embedded in the text, and these discuss and offer solutions to problems posed in the text, providing a fully immersive experience and extra learning support. www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/ebooks- These videos are also available as a stand-alone online resource for use alongside the print book, where lecturers can also access the figures from the book for use in their teaching.
