For courses in 2-semester organic chemistry.

Engage students in complex problem solving

Organic Chemistry takes a modern, highly accurate approach to the key principles of organic chemistry for both biology and chemistry majors. Driven by problem-solving strategy, the text focuses students on the fundamental reasoning and principles of organic chemistry.

The 9th Edition features a student-oriented approach to problem-solving that directs students to the individual steps of a reaction, shows how the steps contribute, and uses unique strategies and hints. The authors simplify mechanisms into digestible boxes of varying importance, helping students organize and understand the subject matter.

Description

Organic Chemistry provides the conceptual foundations, chemical logic and problem-solving skills needed to reason your way to solutions for problems in synthetic organic chemistry, biochemistry and medicine. By building an organic chemistry framework, you can understand and apply learning rather than relying on memorization. The 9th Edition presents a wealth of problem-solving strategies, over 300 new problems (now totaling over 2,000), updated content and organizational changes to support the unique ways you acquire knowledge, study, practice and master organic chemistry. NOTE: The Print Offer, available exclusively to Mastering® and Pearson+ eTextbook users, features the same content as the traditional bound text in a convenient, 3-hole-punched, loose-leaf format. It does not include access to your Mastering or Pearson+ eTextbook course. Before purchasing, check with your instructor or review your course syllabus to ensure that you select the correct ISBN.

Description

Master organic chemistry with the help of this proven best-seller! John McMurry’s ORGANIC CHEMISTRY is consistently praised as the most clearly written book available for the course. In John McMurry’s words: “I wrote this book because I love writing. I get great pleasure and satisfaction from taking a complicated subject, turning it around until I see it clearly from a new angle, and then explaining it in simple words.” Through his lucid writing and ability to show the beauty and logic of organic chemistry, McMurry makes learning enjoyable. The highest compliment that can be given to a chemistry book applies to McMurry: It works!
