Klappentext

This edition of Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function maintains its defining framework based on the concept that an organic molecule's structure will determine its function, while strengthening its focus on helping students understand reactions, mechanisms, and synthetic analysis and their practical applications.

And now, this edition's media content is available in Macmillan Learning's breakthrough course platform, Achieve, which houses all of the book's assessments, multimedia assets, e-book, and instructor resources in a powerful new platform.
