DescriptionOrganic Chemistry, Ninth Edition gives students a contemporary overview of organic principles and the tools for organizing and understanding reaction mechanisms and synthetic organic chemistry with unparalleled and highly refined pedagogy.This text presents key principles of organic chemistry in the context of fundamental reasoning and problem solving. Authored to complement how students use a textbook today, new Problem Solving Strategies, Partially Solved Problems, Visual Reaction Guides and Reaction Starbursts encourage students to use the text before class as a primary introduction to organic chemistry as well as a comprehensive study tool for working problems and/or preparing for exams.New to this EditionNew chapters on Phenols and Quinones and Asymmetric Synthesis.Green Chemistry is emphasized with presentation of less-toxic, and environmentally friendly reagents.Enriched and updated treatment of Acid/Base Chemistry, Study of Chemical Reactions, Stereochemistry, Alkyl Halides, Alkenes, Dienes, Alkynes, Thiols, Aromatic Compounds, Amines, and Polymers.Over 100 new problems include more synthesis problems and problems based on recent literature.Over 80 Mechanism boxes help students understand how specific reactions occur by zooming in on each individual step in detail.Updated art throughout to provide consistency and clarity in the text, giving detailed representations of molecular and orbital art.Table of ContentsPreface Introduction to Organic ChemistryStructure and Properties of Organic Molecules: Acids and BasesThe Study of Chemical ReactionsStructure and Stereochemistry of Alkanes and CycloalkanesStructure and Synthesis of AlkenesReactions of Alkenes and DienesAlkynesAlkyl Halides; Nucleophilic Substitution and EliminationAlcohols and Thiols: Structure and SynthesisReactions of AlcoholsEthers and ThioethersStereochemistryAromatic CompoundsReactions of Aromatic CompoundsKetones and Aldehydes 16 Carboxylic AcidsCarboxylic Acid DerivativesCondensations and Alpha Substitutions of Carbonyl CompoundsPhenols and QuinonesAminesCarbohydratesAmino Acids, Peptides, Proteins and Nucleic AcidsPolymeric MaterialsAsymmetric SynthesisConjugated Systems, Orbital Symmetry, and Ultraviolet SpectroscopyInfrared Spectroscopy and Mass SpectrometryNuclear Magnetic Resonance SpectroscopyLipids AppendicesBrief Answers to Selected ProblemsPhoto Credits Index Color Illustrations
