Reviews key general chemistry concepts and techniques, adapted for application to important organic principles. Provides practical guidance to help students make the notoriously well-known and arduous transition from general chemistry to organic chemistry. Explains organic concepts and reaction mechanisms, generally expanding the focus on how to understand each step from a more intuitive viewpoint. Covers concepts that need further explanation as well as those that summarize and emphasize key ideas or skills necessary in this field. An added bonus is help with organizing principles to make sense of a wide range of similar reactions and mechanisms. Implements a user-friendly process to achieve the end result of problem solving. Covers organic chemistry I and II concepts at the level and depth of a standard ACS organic chemistry curriculum; features practice problems and solutions to help master the material, including an extensive and comprehensive bank of practice exams with solutions.
