Purchase options and add-ons

This book enables readers to see the connections in organic chemistry and understand the logic.
  • Reaction mechanisms are grouped together to reflect logical relationships.
  • Discusses organic chemistry as it is applied to real–world compounds and problems.
  • Electrostatic potential plots are added throughout the text to enhance the recognition and importance of molecular polarity.
  • Presents problems in a new “Looking–Ahead” section at the end of each chapter that show how concepts constantly build upon each other.
  • Converts many of the structural formulas to a line–angle format in order to make structural formulas both easier to recognize and easier to draw.

Product description

From the Back Cover

The flower of the passion fruit, Passiflora edulis, showing 3–fold and 5–fold symmetry in its styles and stamen, respectively. Symmetry and the lack of symmetry are important features of organic molecules. For example, a fascinating distinction between the yellow and purple passion fruit was found when studying compounds occurring within the species. 2–Heptanol, for example, is found in both the yellow and purple passion fruit but, whereas the R enantiomer predominates in purple fruit (92%), the S enantiomer predominates in yellow fruit (82%). Just as the passion fruit and its′ flower illustrate important concepts at work in organic chemistry, this text enables students to make the connections between organic chemistry in the classroom and the world around them.

About the Author

William H. Brown is Professor Emeritus at Beloit College, where he was twice named Teacher of the Year. He is also the author of two other college textbooks; Organic Chemistry 3/e published in 2002, and General, Organic, and Biochemistry 7/e coauthored with Fred Bettelheim and Jerry March, published in 2004. he received h is PhD from Columbia University under the direction of Gilbert Stork and did post–doctoral work at California Institute of Technology and the University of Arizona. Twice he was Director of a Beloit College World Affairs Center seminar at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. In 1999, he retired from Beloit College to devote more time to writing and development of educational materials. Although officially retired, he continues to teach Special Topics in Organic Synthesis on a Yearly basis.

 Thomas Poon is Associate professor of Chemistry in the Joint Science Department of Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps Colleges, three of the five undergraduate institutions that make up the Claremont Colleges in Claremont, California. He received his B.S. degree from Fairfield University (CT) and his Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles under the direction of Christopher S. Foote. Poon was a Camille and Henry Dreyfus Postdoctoral Fellow under Bradford P. Mundy at Colby College (ME) before joining the faculty at Randolph–Macon College (VA) where he received the Thomas Branch Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1999. He was visiting scholar at Columbia University (NY) in 2002 (and again in 2004) where he worked on projects in both research and education with his friend and mentor, Nicholas J. Turro. His teaching duties include organic chemistry, forensic chemistry, and upper level courses in photochemistry and advanced laboratory techniques. his favorite activity is working alongside undergraduates in the laboratory on research problems involving the investigation of synthetic methodology in zeolites, zeolite photochemistry, and reactions of singlet oxygen.

I had ordered this book from somewhere else first, because it was a paperback option and less expensive, and I didn't even get informed that they'd cancelled my order until it should've been shipped, a week later. When I ordered this one, the estimated arrival date was the 23rd, and it not only came in in perfect condition at a far lower price than my university, but it shipped earlier and made it to my house by the 20th. I'm very impressed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Just like any other chemistry book...
Reviewed in the United States on 29 January 2013

There's a lot of writing which is harder for me to understand when we're supposed to be learning how to do equations and reactions-- it gets a little wordy. I guess the book is just like any other chem book.

5.0 out of 5 stars exactly as it said
Reviewed in the United States on 17 February 2010
Verified Purchase
I needed an Organic Chemistry book used because I didn't want to spend 200$ in the bookstore and this one for only 30$ caught my eye. It said there was a mild coffee stain along the bottom and some wear around the edges. The book arrived with exactly that condition and I am pleased that the seller was honest and there were no troubles whatsoever.
