description: Following a brief review of structure and bonding, organic molecules and functional groups are presented as early as possible. The text is organized primarily by functional group, beginning with simple alkanes and moving toward more complex compounds. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental mechanistic similarities of organic reactions. .McMurry's thorough revision continues to present the solid content necessary for this course without sacrifice of important subjects and pedagogical tools. Text and reaction summaries, full problem sets, and outstanding artwork are just some of the features in the Third Edition, usually found in a full-year book. McMurry's clear, well-written explanations remain a highlight of the book.
