Providing an exciting introduction to organic chemistry for students majoring in chemistry as well as in health and biological sciences, ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Fifth Edition, continues to deliver a text that is both student friendly and cutting edge. The author team--which adds highly respected research chemist Eric Anslyn--builds upon the text’s hallmarks of unified mechanistic themes, focused problem-solving, use of applied problems from the pharmaceutical field, and unrivaled visuals that incorporate an expansive, full-color art program. With numerous biological examples for premed students, the new edition features increased coverage of bioorganic chemistry, expanded in-text learning tools, and stronger emphasis on high utility technology. Numerous resources help ensure student success in the course, including a running margin glossary, a mini in-text study guide, and more in-chapter examples than any other text on the market. The text emphasizes how-to skills and is packed with challenging synthesis problems as well as medicinal chemistry problems. It also offsets reaction mechanisms in a clear, stepwise fashion and emphasizes similarities between related mechanisms. Reflecting the latest developments from the field, the fifth edition for the first time introduces organic chemistry of sulfur and phosphorus.
