Survival Guide to Organic Chemistry ─ Bridging the Gap from General Chemistry

An important benefit for organic chemistry students is the opportunity to bridge the gap between general chemistry and organic chemistry. It is also to make sense of the myriad of in-depth concepts of organic chemistry without being overwhelmed by the necessary detail often given in a complete organic chemistry text. Here, the topics covered span the entire standard organic chemistry curriculum. The authors describe subjects which require further explanations, alternate viewpoints for understanding, and hands-on practical problems and solutions to help master the material. This text helps students apply key ideas from their general chemistry curriculum to concepts in organic chemistry.
