A Textbook of Organic Chemistry has been a market leader for more than 75 years. This examination-oriented book breaks the intricacies of organic chemistry into easy-to-understand steps, which gives the student the necessary foundation to build upon, learn, and ultimately understand organic chemistry. The textbook has been written with the student in mind. The language is simple, explanations are clear, and presentation is very systematic. Step-by-step mechanisms are given throughout. Subject matter is modern, error-free and up to date.
End-of-chapter Study Problems and Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) are one of the strengths of this book. These problems are particularly well chosen by the authors because they make the principles described in the text more readily understandable.
