Presents a core course in organic chemistry, ideal for those studying the subject over just one or two semesters, but who need a rigorous grounding in all essential aspects A mechanistic approach throughout promotes conceptual understanding rather than rote learning of facts A range of learning features, including full colour art, sidebars, in-text worked examples, and end-of-chapter problems help the reader digest and fully understand the concepts being presented An Online Resource Centre provides additional materials to augment the printed text Organic Chemistry: A mechanistic approach provides readers with a concise review of the essential concepts underpinning the subject. It combines a focus on core topics and themes with a mechanistic approach to the explanation of the reactions it describes, making it ideal for those looking for a solid understanding of the central themes of organic chemistry. Opening with a review of chemical bonding and molecular shape and structure, the book then introduces the principal groups of organic compound before exploring the range of reactions they undergo. It retains an emphasis throughout on how and why organic compounds behave in the way they do, with a chapter on how mechanisms are investigated and the closing chapter describing the principal methods by which the structure and composition of organic compounds are studied. With an understanding of organic chemistry being central to the study and practice of a range of disciplines, Organic Chemistry is the ideal resource for those studying a one- or two-semester organic chemistry course as part of a broader programme of study in the physical and life sciences.
