A Q&A Approach to Organic Chemistry is a book of leading questions
that begins with atomic orbitals and bonding. All critical topics are
covered, including bonding, nomenclature, stereochemistry,
conformations, acids and bases, oxidations, reductions, substitution,
elimination, acyl addition, acyl substitution, enolate anion reactions,
the Diels-Alder reaction and sigmatropic rearrangements, aromatic
chemistry, spectroscopy, amino acids and proteins, and carbohydrates and
nucleosides. All major reactions are covered. In all chapters, there are
leading questions to focus attention on a principle or reaction and the
answer is immediately provided. Each chapter includes end-of-chapter
homework questions with the answer keys in an Appendix at the end of the
book. This book is envisioned to be a supplementary guide to be used
with virtually any available undergraduate organic chemistry textbook.
This book allows for a "self-guided" approach that is useful as one
studies for a coursework exam or as one reviews organic chemistry for
postgraduate exams.
