Description

This is the companion volume to Foundations of Organic Chemistry (OCP #9) , the best-selling Primer ever - more than 20,000 copies worldwide. OCP #87 compliments #9 by providing problems, with answers and tutorial guidance on organic chemistry encountered by upper undergraduate students. The problems are accompanied by useful hints, and the answers have tutorial comments which reinforce the chemical principles involved. The first three chapters cover basic physical organic chemistry, setting the scene for the mechanistic organic chemistry covered later.
