CHEM 210: Organic Chemistry I (Dr. Silverberg)

Makes explicit the many connections between physical organic chemistry and critical fields such as organometallic chemistry, materials chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, and biochemistry

Emphasizes organic chemistry's relationship between structure and reactivity. Organized in a way that combines the most useful features of a functional group approach with one largely based on reaction mechanisms. Emphasize mechanisms and their common aspects as often as possible, and at the same time, use the unifying features of functional groups as the basis for most chapters.

Provides a thorough if unorthodox treatment of the structure of organic molecules. The first seven chapters cover the structural model of classic organic chemistry, and the eighth chapter introduces quantum mechanical ideas. The next eight chapters cover specialized topics such as NMR, hydrogen bonding, and base pairing. Readers of this journal will be pleased with the frequent use of natural products as illustrative examples.

Designed for students of biology, molecular biology, ecology,medicine, agriculture, forestry and other professions where the knowledge of organic chemistry plays an important role.

Discusses essential stereochemical concepts associated with organic molecules (natural or synthetic), as reflected in the course of their many reactions, their mechanisms, their asymmetric synthesis, biosynthesis, and biological activities.

Essential workbook for all students studying organic chemistry, and a useful aide for teachers of undergraduate organic chemistry to use in their tutorials.

Features hundreds of problems and includes solutions for every problem. Key concept summaries reinforce critical material and enhance mastery of this complex subject.

Aims to cover the basic principles of organic chemistry that students are likely to need in examinations.
