Organic Chemistry: Mechanistic Patterns 2nd Edition
Bill Ogilvie, Nathan Ackroyd, Scott Browning, Ghislain Deslongchamps, Felix Lee, Effiette Sauer
Organic Chemistry: Mechanistic Patterns is the first introductory organic chemistry title that holistically focuses on a mechanistic approach, one that has proven to achieve a deeper understanding of chemical reactivity. This approach visualizes reactivity as a collection of patterns in electron movement, making it possible for students to describe why a reaction occurred and predict how a chemical will react, even if they have never seen a particular reaction before. The text takes great care to establish a progression of reactivity, from simple to complex, introducing functional groups as necessary, while focusing on the reaction at hand rather than the various things that each functional group does. Including Ghislain Deslongchamps’ acclaimed Organic ChemWare Learning Objects that bring static molecular representations to life, the goal of this textbook is to help students learn to think like chemists so they can be more successful in their studies.
