Introduction to Organic Chemistry

Introduction to Organic Chemistry, 6th Edition provides an introduction to organic chemistry for students who require the fundamentals of organic chemistry as a requirement for their major. It is most suited for a one semester organic chemistry course. In an attempt to highlight the relevance of the material to students, the authors place a strong emphasis on showing the interrelationship between organic chemistry and other areas of science, particularly the biological and health sciences.  The text illustrates the use of organic chemistry as a tool in these sciences; it also stresses the organic compounds, both natural and synthetic, that surround us in everyday in pharmaceuticals, plastics, fibers, agrochemicals, surface coatings, toiletry preparations and cosmetics, food additives, adhesives, and elastomers. This text is an unbound, three hole punched version. Access to WileyPLUS sold separately.

Pretty Good. It's the only reason I passed organic chemistry. One thing this book does well is there are a lot of examples. However, I very disappointed to discover that the last two chapters are only available online and you have to pay extra for it. That definitely lowered my opinion of Mr. Brown.
