Organic Chemistry: Two Semesters - Harper-Collins - 1993

Published in 1993. 583 pp. ISBN 0-06-467126-7. This book is part of the Harper Collins College Outline Series.

This is a book of over 500 pages and every page is full of questions, with answers, for under $20. I use these questions to teach undergraduate Organic chemistry. This book is ideal for the student who wants more practice, and is looking for questions (and answers) relating to Organic chemistry. It is organized to follow the most used textbooks in Organic chemistry.

There will be a second edition of Organic Synthesis and it is scheduled to be published in 1999. I welcome suggestions for changes, additions, and any comments that will improve the book. I also welcome contributions for homework problems. I will, of course, cite the contributor for all problems used in the new addition. Please contact me by EMail, phone or write. Thank you very much.

A student solutions manual is also available, published in 1994. 165 pp. ISBN 0-07-059234-9.

This is a graduate level textbook with homework. It is a reactions book, but uses organic synthesis as its fundamental theme. It contains many examples of modern organic reactions and reagents and is generally divided into two parts - functional group exchange reactions, and methods of making carbon-carbon bonds. It also contains a chapter of strategies for the disconnection of molecules.
