Organic Chemistry provides the conceptual foundations, chemical logic and problem-solving skills that you need to reason your way to solutions for diverse problems in synthetic organic chemistry, biochemistry and medicine. By building an organic chemistry framework that unifies principles of reactivity, you will understand and apply learning rather than relying on memorization.

The 8th Edition presents streamlined coverage of substitution and elimination, updated problem-solving strategies, synthesis skill-building applications and tutorials to guide you through fundamentals and complex content.
