For one-term Courses in Organic Chemistry. " A comprehensive, problem-solving approach for the brief Organic Chemistry course. Modern and thorough revisions to the streamlined, " Essential Organic Chemistry f"ocus on developing students' problem solving and analytical reasoning skills throughout organic chemistry. Organized around reaction similarities and rich with contemporary biochemical connections, Bruice's Third Edition discourages memorization and encourages students to be mindful of the fundamental reasoning behind organic reactivity: electrophiles react with nucleophiles. Developed to support a diverse student audience studying organic chemistry for the first and only time, Essentials fosters an understanding of the principles of organic structure and reaction mechanisms, encourages skill development through new Tutorial Spreads and emphasizes bioorganic processes. Contemporary and rigorous, Essentials addresses the skills needed for the 2015 MCAT and serves both pre-med and biology majors. Also Available with MasteringChemistry(R) This title is also available with MasteringChemistry - the leading online homework, tutorial, and assessment system, designed to improve results by engaging students before, during, and after class with powerful content. Instructors ensure students arrive ready to learn by assigning educationally effective content before class, and encourage critical thinking and retention with in-class resources such as Learning Catalytics(TM). Students can further master concepts after class through traditional and adaptive homework assignments that provide hints and answer-specific feedback. The Mastering gradebook records scores for all automatically graded assignments in one place, while diagnostic tools give instructors access to rich data to assess student understanding and misconceptions. MasteringChemistry brings learning full circle by continuously adapting to each student and making learning more personal than ever--before, during, and after class.

Following a brief review of structure and bonding, organic molecules and functional groups are presented as early as possible. The text is organized primarily by functional group, beginning with simple alkanes and moving toward more complex compounds. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental mechanistic similarities of organic reactions. .McMurry's thorough revision continues to present the solid content necessary for this course without sacrifice of important subjects and pedagogical tools. Text and reaction summaries, full problem sets, and outstanding artwork are just some of the features in the Third Edition, usually found in a full-year book. McMurry's clear, well-written explanations remain a highlight of the book.

Written by Janice Gorzynski Smith and Erin Smith Berk, the Student Study Guide/Solutions Manual provides step-by-step solutions to all in-chapter and end-of-chapter problems. Each chapter begins with an overview of key concepts and includes a short-answer practice test on the fundamental principles and new reactions.

"Joel Karty doesn't just think that students benefit from a mechanistic approach-he can prove it. With the third edition, Joel brings organic chemistry to life through a new series of student-focused videos on mastering mechanisms and succeeding in the course. Furthermore, Joel has brought more active-learning into the text, including a new two-column solved problem format that helps promote understanding over memorization, and in-text features that challenge students to apply new concepts just after reading about them"--

This manual* provides solutions to all problems in the text. It explains in detail how the answers to the in-text and end-of-chapter problems are obtained. It also contains chapter summaries, study hints, and self-tests for each chapter. *The Solutions Manual for this product is available ONLY in print. Contact your Pearson rep to obtain a copy.
