This is a first and second year undergraduate organic chemistry textbook, specifically geared to British and European courses and courses offered in better schools in North America. It has careful explanations of difficult concepts, many examples related to everyday life, and a fresh and student-friendly writing style.
A new style of textbook, aimed principally at the European (and British in particular) student. It is needed because almost all current organic chemistry texts are written to a fixed American pattern. This text is different from these in a number of impor
1. What is organic chemistry?; 2. Organic structures; 3. Determining organic structures; 4. Structure of molecules; 5. Organic reactions; 6. Nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl group; 7. Delocalization and conjugation; 8. Acidity, basicity, and pKa; 9.
