DESCRIPTION

PEARSON INDIA Organic Chemistry, 8/e by Paula Yurkanis Bruice

Paula Bruice’s presentation in Organic Chemistry, Eighth Edition provides mixed-science majors with the conceptual foundations, chemical logic, and problem-solving skills they need to reason their way to solutions for diverse problems in synthetic organic chemistry, biochemistry, and medicine. The Eighth Edition builds a strong framework for thinking about organic chemistry by unifying principles of reactivity that students will apply throughout the course, discouraging memorization. With more applications than any other textbook, Dr. Bruice consistently relates structure and reactivity to what occurs in our own cells and reinforces the fundamental reason for all chemical reactions–electrophiles react with nucleophiles. New streamlined coverage of substitution and elimination, updated problem-solving strategies, synthesis skill-building applications and tutorials guide students throughout fundamental and complex content in both the first and second semesters of the course.

Pericyclic Reactions Appendices Salient Features “The textbook bridges The gap between organic chemistry and biochemistry. Because bioorganic chemistry is The bridge between organic chemistry and biochemistry, The text emphasizes that The organic reactions that chemists carry out in The laboratory are similar to those performed by nature inside a cell. These connections are especially important to biological science majors. -Revised, accuracy-checked text provides increased exam relevancy. -Improved visuals and organization engage students with difficult subject matter, organizes The chapter content and improves ease of use. -Strengthened emphasis on The strategies needed to solve problems and master The content. -New and restructured features give students additional conceptual and skill building support. -Organizing What We Know about The reactions of organic Compounds Table. -Content Updates and Revisions to The Table of Contents streamline and improve clarity in The presentation.”
