Summary

Retaining the concise, to-the-point presentation that has already helped thousands of readers move beyond memorization to a true understanding of the beauty and logic of organic chemistry, this Seventh Edition of John McMurry's FUNDAMENTALS OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY brings in new, focused content that demonstrates how organic chemistry applies to everyday life. In addition, enhanced and redrawn chemical structures and artwork help readers visualize important chemical concepts, while a greater emphasis on biologically-related chemistry (including new problems) help readers grasp the enormous importance of organic chemistry in understanding the reactions that occur in living organisms. Lastly, for this edition, John McMurry reevaluated and revised his writing at the sentence level to ensure that the book's explanations, applications, and examples maximize reader understanding and are more clear, relevant, and motivating than ever before.
