Understand the logic, mechanisms, and reactions of carbonyl chemistry Chemistry of the Carbonyl Group offers organic chemistry students with the opportunity to delve deeper into this important moiety. A mechanism-heavy approach promotes real understanding over memorization, and the discussion provides sufficient detail and depth for self-teaching. Beginning simply, each new chapter adds new complexity while integrating what came before, helping students follow and work within the logic of carbonyl chemistry. Students pursuing careers in organic chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and biomedical research will find this book to be an invaluable aid throughout the course of their studies.
A program for first and second year undergraduates in organic chemistry. This programmed text is written so that the student can teach himself the principles of carbonyl chemistry starting from the simplest addition reactions and ending with highly sophisticated syntheses. The approach is mechanistic and the book attempts to stress the logic behind carbonyl chemistry and to show how the basic principles applied in this field are also relevant in other areas of organic chemistry. The program may therefore be used as a text in the teaching of the principles of organic reaction mechanisms in general. There are no multiple choice questions; the student is set a continually advancing challenge to his own competence. He is told what he needs to know before he starts, and each chapter has a list of new concepts required as previous knowledge. --- from book's back cover
