This is the Student Study Guide and Solutions Manual to accompany Organic Chemistry, 2e. Organic Chemistry, 2nd Edition is not merely a compilation of principles, but rather, it is a disciplined method of thought and analysis. Success in organic chemistry requires mastery in two core aspects: fundamental concepts and the skills needed to apply those concepts and solve problems. Readers must learn to become proficient at approaching new situations methodically, based on a repertoire of skills. These skills are vital for successful problem solving in organic chemistry. Existing textbooks provide extensive coverage of, the principles, but there is far less emphasis on the skills needed to actually solve problems.

"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"--

A realistic approach to the study of mechanisms. The book addresses real functional group chemistry with an emphasis on the biological, environmental, and medical applications of organic chemistry.
