Description

A clear, concise overview of the most important principles and reactions in Organic Chemistry. The purpose of this book is to help make the understanding of organic chemistry successful, easier, and even enjoyable! The approach assumes that organic chemistry is based on a firm foundation of simple and intuitive principles, and that new information can be incorporated, and problems can be solved, by directly applying these basic principles. 

Emphasizes understanding over rote memorization and facilitates the rapid and enjoyable learning of this difficult subject. Ideal for all undergraduate college Organic Chemistry courses or as a “brush-up” to assist understanding in med school biochemistry.
