This item has been replaced by Organic Chemistry, 7/E.

For two-semester courses in Organic Chemistry taken primarily by science and pre-health majors.

This text, organized with a traditional functional-group approach, applies the most modern teaching and pedagogical techniques to the study of organic chemistry. In a highly accessible fashion, this top-selling text bridges the gap between conceptual understanding and actual application—while strongly emphasizing the development of problem-solving skills. Additionally, it provides up-to-date aspects of spectroscopy, relevant photographs, and many applications to polymer chemistry integrated throughout the text.

CONTENT: Clear, consistent presentation of core material is central to a student's success.

NEW - Mechanism Boxes—For clearer understanding of how reactions occur, the process and steps underlying these reactions are highlighted and described within the text.

Key Mechanism Boxes.
- The core mechanisms most essential to organic chemistry are identified and described in detail.

NEW - Revised all NMR images to high-field resolution—To match the spectra work students will be conducting in the lab and in the workplace.

NEW - Amines interchapter.
- Pulls together and summarizes concepts related to amines in a small, coherent section.

Stereochemistry—Covered early (Ch. 5), before substitutions and eliminations.
- Allows an increased application of stereochemistry in later reaction mechanisms. Focused discussion of mechanisms is introduced early on and is a unifying theme.

Reaction Summaries—Includes cross-references to reactions that are discussed elsewhere.
- Summarizes the characteristics of syntheses and reactions of each functional group to provide students with a “big picture” overview.

PROBLEM-SOLVING:
Students need help solving problems effectively.

Unique Problem-Solving Essays.
- Assists students to approach more complicated problems, especially problems that require proposing mechanisms and developing multi-step synthesis.

Over 190 Problem-Solving Hints—Derived from Skip Wade's many years of teaching experience, these head off common student errors and offer “over the shoulder” advice.
- Offers students clear approaches, enabling them to use the most appropriate techniques for solving problems efficiently.

Over 1300 (mostly multi-part) problems.
- Enables students to experience strategies to resolution, identify the more challenging problems, and thoroughly relate them to the material covered.

NEW - New problems added and existing ones revised.
- Instructors will have a fresh set of problems to provide maximum flexibility in making assignments.

VISUALIZATION:
Developing a mental picture of chemical processes is essential for student understanding.

NEW - Updated and enhanced design and art program—Contains state-of-the-art, computer-generated molecular and orbital art.
- Increases visual appeal and elegance of the text to create a more enjoyable course for students and instructors.

NEW - Added electrostatic potential maps.
- Helps students visualize molecules and reactions in ways not possible before by showing calculated charge distributions.

APPLICATIONS:
Students will find the subject more interesting if they understand how it relates to their major area of study.

NEW - Added biological (and other) applications in marginal Applications Notes.
- Helps students see the close connection between organic chemistry and areas of interest such as pharmaceutical, industrial, and other biological applications.

Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

Everything that is in the print book will be in the WebBook and more. The additional functionality includes the following:

1. Where the print book has media icons, movies, animations, 3-D molecular models, and activities are inserted.

2. Clicking on a glossary term in the text pops up the definition.

3. Where the print book has "chain-link" cross-references, the WebBook has links that go to the appropriate section.

4. Search engine for any term in the book (replaces the index).

5. Students can put bookmarks anywhere in the book.

6. Students can highlight and, unlike a print book, remove highlights

7. Students can add annotations in the margins, just like a print book, and can remove them or edit them later.

8. There is a diagnostic quiz at the beginning of every chapter, which students can take at any time. The results of that quiz create a "Custom Study Plan" which highlights the sections that the students apparently need to restudy.

For two-semester courses in Organic Chemistry taken primarily by science and pre-health majors.

Organized around functional groups, Wade’s text is known for its student-oriented approach—incorporating problem solving help, orientation features, and complete discussions of mechanisms. Wade explains concepts without taking the unnecessary short cuts that often lead to misconceptions.

Wade’s hallmark problem-solving approach includes unique strategies and hints to help students focus on the individual steps of each reaction and how they contribute to the overall reaction. Wade also employs the most pedagogically efficient method of mechanism boxes with its two-tiered approach: Mechanism and Key Mechanism Boxes. Because there are over 100 mechanisms boxed in every text, Wade delineates the 20 “Key” mechanisms that comprise nearly all of the mechanisms students will encounter. This means Wade goes one additional and important step in helping students identify and grapple with the smallest number of the most important concepts to understand.

L. G. "Skip" Wade decided to become a chemistry major during his sophomore ear at Rice University, while taking organic chemistry from Professor Ronald M. Magi After receiving his B.A. from Rice in 1969, Wade went on to Harvard University, ere he did research with Professor James D. White. While at Harvard, he served as the Head Teaching Fellow for the organic laboratories and was strongly influenced by the teaching methods of two master educators, Professors Leonard K. Nash and Frank H. Westheimer.

After completing his Ph.D. at Harvard in 1974, Dr. Wade joined the chemistry faculty at Colorado State University. Over the course of fifteen years at Colorado State, Dr. Wade taught organic chemistry to thousands of students working toward careers in all areas of biology, chemistry, human medicine, veterinary medicine, and environmental studies. He also authored research papers in organic synthesis and in chemical education, as well as eleven books reviewing current research in organic synthesis. Since 1989, Dr. Wade has been a chemistry professor at Whitman College, where he teaches organic chemistry and pursues research interests in organic synthesis and forensic chemistry. Dr. Wade received the A. E. Lange Award for Distinguished Science Teaching at Whitman in 1993.

Dr. Wades interest in forensic science has led him to testify as an expert witness in court cases involving drugs and firearms, and he has worked as a police firearms instructor, drug consultant, and boating safety officer. He also enjoys repairing and restoring old violins and bows, which he has done professionally for many years.
