"...Peter C. Vollhardt's Organic Chemistry wins hands down ...the book is visually appealing, up-to-date and it is informative and easy to follow." Nature on the Second Edition Organic Chemistry, 3/e combines the features of successful earlier editions with new material and new pedagogical aids. The authors cover structure before function, introducing stereochemistry and spectroscopy early on, and the text is loaded with wide-ranging applications from the biological and environmental sciences and other disciplines. The emphasis is on the most important reactions and on helping students develop synthetic strategy techniques for exploring chemical structures. New features include more on acid-base chemistry, new discussions of stereoscopic techniques and 20% more problems, with the addition of new-style Team and Pre-professional Problems. A CD-ROM with animations, simulations and exercises is packaged with the book. Organic Chemistry 3.0 CD-ROM 7 Animations and simulations (e.g. numerous Reaction Mechanisms, Conformational Analysis, and Stereochemistry) 7 Molecular Viewing Program containing all molecules in the text 7 Spectroscopy interpretation and NMR exercise 7 Q & A with feedback and references 7 Progressive Reveal Solutions (Check Answer, Give Hint, Show Me) for selected problems in the text 7 Electronic flash cards, glossary and periodic table. All figures from the text. 7 Expansion Modules (Emphasis: industrial applications) 7 Presentation Manager
