Organic Chemistry
Author:David R. Klein
Edition:3rd Edition
Fundamental principles of organic chemistry are developed through a focus on structure, reactivity, and mechanism-based problem solving. It emphasizes how functional groups behave, how reactions proceed step by step, and how to predict products, while integrating spectroscopy and synthesis to connect chemical concepts with biological molecules and real-world applications.
