The Art of Problem Solving in Organic Chemistry
Second Edition

This long-awaited and rewritten new edition includes updated organic reactions and helps students understand and solve the complex mechanistic problems that organic chemists face. Using 60 new, solved, and worked-through problems the author uses a step-by-step approach to discuss each one through the application of various problem-solving techniques. He also addresses questions for students as a guide to help them find their own way before relying on the author's solutions.

Three chapters preceding the problems section cover a number of issues relative to improving problem-solving skills required for organic reaction mechanisms. Each topic is illustrated with a problem the reader is asked to solve before resuming reading. In this approachable manner, the author makes sure each principle is not only clearly understood, but also retained in the reader's working memory for later use -- yielding more active reader involvement than a simple, straightforward text.

Multiple solutions are put forth for each problem, with related experimental evidence and critical reviews of organic chemistry methods. In addition, the book also includes supplementary material for the chapters and problems, along with useful links that can be found at http: //tapsoc.yolasite. com. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professionals in chemistry will benefit from this new edition.
