Summary

In Organic Chemistry, 4th Edition, Dr. David Klein builds on the phenomenal success of the first three editions, with his skills-based approach to learning organic chemistry. The Klein program covers all the concepts typically covered in an organic chemistry course while placing a special emphasis on the skills development needed to support these concepts.

Students in organic chemistry need to be able to bridge the gap between theory (concepts) and practice (problem-solving skills). Klein's SkillBuilder examples and activities offer extensive opportunities for students to develop proficiency in the key skills necessary to succeed in organic chemistry.
