This text gives students a solid understanding of organic chemistry by stressing how fundamental reaction mechanisms function and how reactions occur. Through three editions, Organic Chemistry by Frank Carey, has distinguished itself as one of the most fundamentally sound and innovative two-semester organic chemistry texts on the market. Now through the use of state-of-the-art technology, the 4th edition of the text breaks new ground in presenting organic chemistry as a three-dimensional science. With over 300 new illustrations and seamless integration of reaction animations and molecular modeling exercises, the 4th edition of Carey clearly offers the most up-to-date approach to the study of organic chemistry.
