of science. This edition has key terms and concepts added to key reactions at the end of each chapter, two new mini essays - Alkaloids and Biogenic Amines and Emotion - and the remaining mini-essays have been thoroughly revised and updated. The presentation of amines now comes before carbonyl chemistry, and end-of-chapter problems are divided into groups that correspond with the chapters' major sections. Frequent examples/solution/problem sequences help students to improve their ability to recognize and solve organic chemistry problems. Each example is followed by a similar problem for the student to solve. This book should be of interest to introductory undergraduate courses in general and organic chemistry and biochemistry.
