This long–awaited new edition helps students understand and solve the complex problems that organic chemists regularly face, using a step–by–step method and approachable text. With solved and worked–through problems, the author orients discussion of each through the application of various problem–solving techniques.

Teaches organic chemists structured and logical techniques to solve reaction problems and uses a unique, systematic approach.
Stresses the logic and strategy of mechanistic problem solving –– a key piece of success for organic chemistry, beyond just specific reactions and facts
Has a conversational tone and acts as a readable and approachable workbook allowing reader involvement instead of simply straightforward text
Uses 60 solved and worked–through problems and reaction schemes for students to practice with, along with updated organic reactions and illustrated examples
Includes website with supplementary material for chapters and problems: http://tapsoc.yolasite.com
