Author Description

Product Description Improve your understanding of concepts with this value-packed Hybrid Edition of ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, 6E. This cost-effective learning solution includes the book, the Cengage YouBook (a customizable, interactive eBook) and OWL, the leading online learning system for chemistry. To streamline the book and give you an opportunity for unlimited online practice, the end-of-chapter problems have been removed from the printed book and are available in OWL and can also be printed from the Cengage YouBook. An access code to OWL and the Cengage YouBook is included with the book, providing you with powerful online resources that include tutorials, simulations, randomized homework questions, videos, an interactive electronic version of the textbook, and more! Renowned for its unified mechanistic themes, emphasis on biological examples, use of applied problems from the pharmaceutical field, and unrivaled full-color visuals, this Hybrid Edition of ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Sixth Edition, delivers cutting-edge coverage packed with reader-friendly features. Offering a clear presentation, the book offsets reaction mechanisms in a stepwise fashion and emphasizes similarities between related mechanisms, using just four different characteristics: breaking a bond, making a new bond, adding a proton and taking a proton away. Numerous resources assist in mastery of key concepts and problem-solving skills, including a running margin glossary, a mini in-text study guide, medicinal chemistry problems, unique roadmap problems, and more in-chapter examples than any other book.
