Q and a APPROACH to ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

A Q&A Approach to Organic Chemistry is a book of leading questions that begins with atomic orbitals and bonding. All critical topics are covered, including bonding, nomenclature, stereochemistry, conformations, acids and bases, oxidations, reductions, substitution, elimination, acyl addition, acyl substitution, enolate anion reactions, the Diels–Alder reaction and sigmatropic rearrangements, aromatic chemistry, spectroscopy, amino acids and proteins, and carbohydrates and nucleosides. All major reactions are covered. Each chapter includes end-of-chapter homework questions with the answer keys in an Appendix at the end of the book. This book is envisioned to be a supplementary guide to be used with virtually any available undergraduate organic chemistry textbook. This book allows for a "self-guided" approach that is useful as one studies for a coursework exam or as one reviews organic chemistry for postgraduate exams.Key Features:Allows a "self-guided tour" of organic chemistryDiscusses all important areas and fundamental reactions of organic chemistryClassroom testedUseful as a study guide that will supplement most organic chemistry textbooksAssists one in study for coursework exams or allows one to review organic chemistry for postgraduate examsIncludes 21 chapters of leading questions that covers all major topics and major reactions of organic chemistry Read more
