Description: The central message of chemistry is that the properties of a substance come from its structure. What is less obvious, but very powerful, is the corollary. Someone with training in chemistry can look at the structure of a substance and tell you a lot about its properties. Organic chemistry has always been, and continues to be, the branch of chemistry that best connects structure with properties. The goal of this text ... is to provide students with the conceptual tools to understand and apply the relationship between the structures of organic compounds and their properties ... [This text] is designed to meet the needs of the "mainstream," two-semester undergraduate organic chemistry course. -Pref.
