Delivery fee: Select location
This textbook classifies organic chemistry according to mechanism rather than classification of functional groups, with the intention of having students understand by means of problem solving. The emphasis is on the development of skills through a student-centered pedagogical approach. The inclusion of chromatography, spectroscopy, and spectrometry early in the book is an important concept. The book contains the customary chapters on biomolecules, but also presents chapters on industrially important processes and their economics, and environmental chemistry, areas in which every 21st-century-educated scientist should have familiarity.
Offering a different, more engaging approach to teaching and learning, Organic Chemistry: A Mechanistic Approach classifies organic chemistry according to mechanism rather than by functional group. The book elicits an understanding of the material, by means of problem solving, instead of purely requiring memorization. The text enables a deep understanding of underlying principles that can be applied to a wide range of problems and systems. It also teaches a way of thinking and analysis that will serve students well across many academic disciplines.
Covering all the key aspects of organic chemistry, this text emphasizes the development of skills through a student-centered approach. In order to provide a contemporary feel to the subject, the author has included some of the more modern synthetic approaches. In addition, later chapters address the biological, environmental, industrial, and forensic aspects of organic chemistry.
