A new edition of the popular abridgement of the author's "Organic Chemistry, 4th Edition", this text contains all the material of the parent text except for the chapters on special topics and nucleic acids. This edition, unlike the previous two editions, is in a full-colour format, which makes the illustrative material much more effective and informative. It also features an early treatment of stereochemistry, use of ionic reactions to introduce mechanisms, early treatment of alcohols and ethers, expanded treatment of organic synthesis, and many new problems.
