Advanced Organic Chemistry Part A: Structure and Mechanisms / Edition 5

by Francis A. Carey, Richard J. Sundberg

Overview

The two-part, fifth edition of Advanced Organic Chemistry has been substantially revised and reorganized for greater clarity. The material has been updated to reflect advances in the field since the previous edition, especially in computational chemistry. Part A covers fundamental structural topics and basic mechanistic types. It can stand-alone; together, with Part B: Reaction and Synthesis, the two volumes provide a comprehensive foundation for the study in organic chemistry. Companion websites provide digital models for study of structure, reaction and selectivity for students and exercise solutions for instructors.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews of the fifth edition:

“Carey and Sundberg had written the most detailed and briliant account in the subject of organic chemistry. … The book provides an abundance of reaction examples organized in schemes. It makes studying very effective and helpful. … Advanced undergraduates and graduate students will welcome this new edition and the depth of materials covered.” (Philosophy, Religion and Science Book Reviews, bookinspections.wordpress.com, May, 2014)

From the Publisher

The first part of a two-volume text that provides the scientific community with updated and broad coverage of organic chemistry. Part A explicates the structures of organic compounds and the mechanisms of organic reactions. The topics of aromaticity and the reactions of aromatic compounds are now treated in separate chapters, while the chapter on free radical reactions has been extensively revised to emphasize their distinctive mechanistic and kinetic aspects.
