This innovative text organizes functional groups around unifying principles of reactivity, emphasizing how functional groups behave. By tying together the reactivity of a functional group and the synthesis of compounds resulting from its reactivity, students better understand principles of organic chemistry rather than purely memorizing lists of unrelated reactions. Offering comprehensive and detailed coverage of the discipline, Bruice also integrates coverage of bioorganic chemistry to show students how organic chemistry applies to their daily lives and future professions. The Sixth Edition has been revised and streamlined throughout to enhance clarity and accessibility, and adds a wealth of new problems and problem-solving strategies.
