Publisher: New Delhi Tata McGraw Hill 2012Edition: 7th.Description: 1229 Pages | Binding - Paperback |.ISBN: 978-0-07-066716-7.Subject(s): ORGANIC CHEMISTRY | PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRYDDC classification: 547 Online resources: Click here to access online Summary: The book is for an introductory UG course in Organic Chemistry. It deals with almost all fundamentals of various aspects of organic chemistry. Taking the functional group based approach; this text is a perfect blend of conceptual understanding and analytical aid. Strong in-text pedagogy is designed for the beginning student supported with numerous figures, solved examples and emphasis on reaction mechanisms. Highly illustrative and graphic enriched explanation of concepts lays groundwork for better comprehension.
Key Features
Organization:
Content is organized according to functional groups offering two major advantages over alternative organization based on mechanism or reaction types:
a) Information content of individual chapters is more manageable.
b) Patterns of reactivity are reinforced when same type of reactions appear for different functional groups.
Presentation:
Emphasis has been laid on mechanisms to encourage students see similarities in mechanisms among different functional groups. Reactions have been presented first, followed by their mechanism. Numerous reaction mechanisms are accompanied by potential energy diagrams. Graphics have been enhanced. Concepts have been explained illustratively to help students overcome the abstract nature of the topics.
Pedagogy:
Chapter outline: containing the list of section headings, boxed essays, reaction mechanisms, and descriptive passages & interpretive problems along with their corresponding page numbers.
Boxed Essays: deal with applications of organic chemistry.
Reaction Mechanisms: Multistep mechanisms with an additional brief comment about how each step contributes to the overall mechanism.
Tables: provide experimental information.
Annotated Summary tables: review reactions from earlier chapters, review reactions or concepts of a current chapter, and walk the reader step-by-step through skill builders and concepts unique to organic chemistry.
Problem- Solving Strategies: give detailed information on solving a particular type of problem.
End-of-chapter summaries: highlight and consolidate all of the important concepts and reactions within a chapter.
Solved examples: handwritten and otherwise, help in progressive reinforcement of the concept.
