Organic Chemistry (5TH 03 - Old Edition)

This workbook with CD features SpartanViewTM and SpartanBuildTM software. It includes a software tutorial and numerous challenging exercises that readers can tackle to solve problems involving structure building and analysis, using the tools included in the two pieces of Spartan software. Included are the molecular model files for the activities. Free when packaged with selected Pearson textbooks.

A useful workbook for chemistry courses.

New edition of a text that covers the fundamentals of organic chemistry, including both the classical reactions and the new techniques and reactions in current use by practicing chemists. New sections address free-radical inhibitors, using the Mislow and Siegel definition, the asymmetric reduction work by Noyori and Knowles, the Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, the aromaticity of Fullerenes and their relationship to other allotropes of carbon, prions, and others. Visual aids comprise boxes containing information on important mechanisms, and electrostatic potential maps.
