Organic Chemistry
Author:Jonathan Clayden, Nick Greeves, Stuart Warren
Edition:2nd Edition
Reactivity and structure of organic molecules are explored through mechanisms, stereochemistry, and synthesis strategies. It emphasizes how electrons move during reactions, connecting functional groups, reaction pathways, and selectivity to the design and construction of complex molecules, with applications extending to biological systems and modern chemical research.
