New Features

? ORGANIZATION: Content is organized according to functional groups. Chemical reactions have been discussed within this framework, thereby emphasizing reactions that different functional groups undergo, and not the reactions that prepare them. ? PRESENTATION: The overall order of topics is consistent with the way most instructors teach organic chemistry. However, some important and logical differences include: ? Review material in introductory chapter to give students a firm grip of fundamental concepts. ? Stereochemistry is introduced early and reinforced often. ? Spectroscopy has been discussed elaborately over two chapters. ? PEDAGOGY: ? Chapter outline: list the sections covered in the chapter. ? How To's Boxes: provide detailed information for key procedures that students need to master. ? Reaction Mechanisms: presented in a detailed step-by-step fashion. ? Selected applications: to biology, medicine & environment have been integrated throughout. ? Prologue: to organic chemistry is a casting feature for beginners in the stream. ? Key Concept Summaries : succinctly summarize the main concepts and themes of the chapter. ? Solved examples: help in progressive reinforcement of the concept.
