Organic Chemistry: Study Guide/Solutions manual. This item is unavailable.Organic Chemistry: Study Guide/Solutions manual

Shaped by Maitland Jones's years of classroom experience at Princeton University, "Organic Chemistry remains committed to helping students understand--rather than memorize--the fundamental concepts of organic chemistry. Retaining the authoritative coverage, informal style, and abundance of carefully annotated figures of its predecessors, this Third Edition strives for even greater accessibility with a clean new design, new pedagogy, and enhanced treatment of topics like acids and bases, synthesis, and spectroscopy.

Maitland Jones, Jr., is Professor of Chemistry at New York University. His undergraduate and graduate degrees are from Yale University. A long-time teacher of the organic chemistry course at Princeton, he is also an internationally recognized research scientist. His field of expertise is reactive intermediates, extremely short-lived molecules that exist only momentarily in the course of a chemical reaction. Within that subfield, Professor Jones is particularly interested in carbenes, carbon atoms with only two of their bond-forming electrons linked to other atoms, instead of the usual four. He is considered one of the world’s leading authorities on this subject and travels widely, lecturing on his research.
