Organic Chemistry : Structure, Mechanism, and Synthesis

Organic Chemistry : Structure, Mechanism, and Synthesis / Robert J. Ouellette and J. David Rawn.

There are no shortcuts in organic chemistry. Understanding and mastery cannot be achieved without devoting adequate time and attention to the theories and concepts of the discipline. It is with this premise that Ouelletteand Rawn set out to comprehensively survey the field in Organic Chemistry, with...
