Based on the premise that many, if not most, reactions in organic chemistry can be explained by variations of fundamental acid–base concepts, Organic Chemistry: An Acid–Base Approach provides a framework for understanding the subject that goes beyond mere memorization. Using several techniques to develop a relational understanding, it helps students fully grasp the essential concepts at the root of organic chemistry.

This new edition was rewritten largely with the feedback of students in mind and is also based on the author’s classroom experiences using the first edition.

Highlights of the Second Edition Include:

  • Reorganized chapters that improve the presentation of material
  • Coverage of new topics, such as green chemistry
  • Adding photographs to the lectures to illustrate and emphasize important concepts
  • A downloadable solutions manual

The second edition of Organic Chemistry: An Acid–Base Approach constitutes a significant improvement upon a unique introductory technique to organic chemistry. The reactions and mechanisms it covers are the most fundamental concepts in organic chemistry that are applied to industry, biological chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and pharmacy. Using an illustrated conceptual approach rather than presenting sets of principles and theories to memorize, it gives students a more concrete understanding of the material.

Review:

Praise for the first edition:

"Summing Up: Recommended"
―CHOICE, June 2011

"After a brief historical overview and a chapter on the acid-base theme, the standard programme is rolled out, although with an almost unbroken emphasis on the acid-base approach...
... the body of the text is easy to read, and the well chosen questions following almost every paragraph encourage the reader to start digesting the provided information immediately."
―Martina Lahmann in Education in Chemistry, May 2011

"This new book is designed to provide a new approach to teaching organic chemistry, to understand the relationships between functional group via an acid-base theme. In 28 chapters the author provides a mechanistic approach to teaching organic chemistry, focusing on fundamental principles rather than a comprehensive accumulation of factual knowledge."
Organic Process Research, 2011
