Ideal for those who have previously studies organic chemistry but not in great depth and with little exposure to organic chemistry in a formal sense. This text aims to bridge the gap between introductory-level instruction and more advanced graduate-level texts, reviewing the basics as well as presenting the more advanced ideas that are currently of importance in organic chemistry.
* Provides students with the organic chemistry background required to succeed in advanced courses.
* Practice problems included at the end of each chapter.Content:
