Organic Chemistry, 9th ed.

This bestselling book provides updated, refined coverage of modern organic chemistry. It includes new skill-building exercises, problems, and challenge problems that help readers apply the material. Also enables readers to learn a difficult subject with the help of an engaging writing style. It highlights biological and other real-world chemistry in the chapters and contains the organic view cd, a browser-based study tool with animated 3d graphics and review sections. · the basics: bonding and molecular structure · representative carbon compounds: functional groups, intermolecular forces, and infrared (ir) spectroscopy · an introduction to organic reactions and their mechanisms: acids and bases · nomenclature and conformations of alkanes and cycloalkanes · stereochemistry: chiral molecules · ionic reactions: nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions of alkyl halides · alkenes and alkynes i: properties and synthesis.
