Dispelling the notion that organic chemistry is an overwhelming, shapeless body of facts, this textbook provides students with a framework for organizing their approach to the course. By emphasizing the relationship between structure and function, the authors provide a framework for understanding mechanisms and reactions. Stressing the importance of synthetic strategies and biological and industrial applications, the text introduces students to real chemistry as it is actually practised. This fourth edition offers significant updates in coverage and learning tools and enhanced media support at the book's companion website.

A first- and second-year undergraduate organic chemistry textbook, specifically geared to British and European courses and those offered in better schools in North America. The emphasis is on clarity and understanding, with very careful explanations of difficult concepts, many examples related to everyday life, and a "student-friendly" writing style.

A new style of textbook, aimed principally at the European (and British in particular) student. It is needed because almost all current organic chemistry texts are written to a fixed American pattern. This text is different from these in a number of important ways: The approach is based on explanation rather than fact. The functional group approach (alkane, alkene, alkyne) has served American State College readers well but increasingly students and instructors are attracted more to an approach based on mechanism and reaction type. This approach aims at understanding rather than factual knowledge and, though slower at the start, eventually gives the student power to understand compounds and reactions never previously encountered. This is a big advantage in a science already too large for individuals to learn and which is annually expanding at an ever greater rate. The basics of the subject are explained carefully and thoroughly. How to draw molecules realistically and how to draw mechanisms to reveal the fundamental chemistry are both emphasised. Important points are revisited when they become relevant in later chapters. Examples are very important too. New examples are given each time a concept resurfaces, and examples from everyday life and medicinal chemistry are frequently used. The authors want the readers to be excited by the universality of organic chemistry rather than be overwhelmed by facts. The design of the book has features to help comprehension. Structures are drawn in red, and black is used on them for emphasis. Other colours are used flexibly to draw attention to atoms, molecules, orbitals, arrows or whatever the authors want to emphasise rather than being used in a rigid systematic way. There are four types of "box" used to separate material from the main text, ranging from extra important summaries to diversions which can be omitted at first reading. The early chemistry chapters feature carbonyl group reactions because addition to carbonyl groups is probably the easiest reaction to understand. Thereafter the chemistry develops in a logical sequence but chapters on spectroscopy, stereochemistry etc are interspersed among those dealing with chemical reactions. From time to time review chapters summarise what has been described in a particular area. A personal and honest approach is adopted. The authors write clearly and directly to the reader, sharing their enthusiasms, understandings and doubts. If they believe an explanation is imperfect or controversial, they say so. They show that organic chemistry is developing rapidly, and that new ideas continually emerge to replace the old. The authors know from experience what conceptual difficulties often overwhelm students at an early stage in their studies and they devote more space to these points, give more examples, and revisit them when they can be applied. The aim is to help the readers master these points for themselves rather than just learn them off by heart.

The second edition, following the format of the first, is based on Maitland Jones Jr.'s successful lectures at Princeton. The author outlines step by step the process of chemical reactions, in the standard functional-groups approach. Jones' focus is always to help students understand the chemistry by seeing the ways reactions occur. A large number of illustrations, helpful mid-chapter summaries and solved problems make this edition more student friendly than the first. It also offers greater coverage of biologically relevant topics with more emphasis on spectroscopy, better coverage of key reactions and it expands the number of problems related to synthesis.

This textbook contructs organic chemistry from the ground up. By focusing on the points of reactivities in organic molecules - showing why they are reactive, what kinds of moieties react at these points and how surroundings may alter the reactivity, it allows readers to approach more complex molecules with enhanced understanding.

This work is aimed at lecturers who are looking for a text for their organic chemistry course. It is derived from Solomon's "Organic Chemistry", sixth edition. Special topics, which are enrichment topics not central to the core presentation, have been removed. In this new edition, chapters 22 to 25 on biological topics have been condensed and combined. An early focus on organic reactions is presented and an earlier and extensively revised chapter on spectroscopy comes before the two chapters on aromatic compounds. This heavily updated chapter incorporates new FT NMR techniques, and includes new 300 MHz1H NMR spectra as well. The expanded discussion of aromatic compounds in chapter two prepares students to examine spectra of compounds having aromatic groups. There is increased emphasis on reaction mechanisms and all of the representative mechanisms have been revised to give them more prominence. Important mechanisms are given a special presentation called "A Mechanism for the Reaction".

Gerhard Quinkert Ernst Egert Christian Griesinger Aspects of Organic Chemistry Structure Praise for the German Edition This up-to-date picture of organic chemistry presented in a rather unconventional fashion is well-founded yet fascinating. One really feels the enthusiasm of the authors for this exciting area, and it easily springs over onto the reader. Surely, I would have studied organic chemistry, if I had had such a book during my course. Richard R. Ernst This is the documentation of an extraordinary, future-oriented educational concept for organic chemistry. Albert Eschenmoser Being a beneficiary of Aspects of Organic Chemistry by Quinkert, Egert, and Griesinger, I want to point out that this book is an excellent source of information yet a gripping reading matter, not only for advanced students, but also for chemists more advanced in years. Vladimir Prelog The series has good chance to become such a standard work for organic chemists as Lectures on Physics (Feynman, Leighton, Sands) has been for the physics students since the last two generations passing a change in paradigms, which is essential for science itself, onto the education. The logical structure of organic chemistry is elucidated in a really uniquely conclusive way. Crossing the borders is considered not an exception, but the rule, no matter, whether links to topology, group or graph theories are discussed, or connections between chemistry and biology are worked out. Indeed, the basic concept of the authors to emphasize the close relationship between modern biology and chemistry is proved convincingly as a thread running through the whole text. This is not and wants not to be a lowbrow text. It is not a conventional textbook as you can find them on the market more than enough. It is a work made to help think about organic chemistry, to understand its logical structure, without neglecting the numerous important details. Helmut Schwarz.

This book is about the recognition of new principles in Organic Chemistry. It is also about the discovery and invention of Chemical Reactions. In addition, it deals with the determination of structure by chemical degradation during the epoch when physical methods were not well developed. Also presented are new reagents and new types of functional groups never seen in chemistry before. The overall aim of the collected papers is to show how thought can direct original research and to demonstrate how thought about old or new chemical facts can lead to originality. This is further illuminated by commentaries which Prof Barton has written to accompany these papers.
