Beschreibung:
K. Peter C. Vollhardt - got his Ph.D. with Professor Peter Garratt at the University College, London, and was a postdoctoral fellow with Professor Bob Bergman (then) at the California Institute of Technology. He moved to Berkeley in 1974 when he began his efforts toward the development of organocobalt reagents in organic synthesis, the preparation of theoretically interesting hydrocarbons and the assembly of novel transition metal arrays with potential in catalysis. He is the current Chief Editor of Synlett. Among his more than 350 publications, he treasures especially this textbook in organic chemistry, translated into 13 languages.
Gain a deeper understanding of reactions, mechanisms, and synthetic analysis and their practical applications as Organic Chemistry breaks down topics using a sensible organization based on the concept that an organic molecule's structure will determine its function.
NEW chapter-opening Learning Objectives and chapter-ending Summary provide a framework for student learning by outlining the concepts appearing in each chapter.
