The principles and facts of this subject are not easily learned by simply reading them, even repeatedly. Formulas, equations, and molecular structures are best mastered by written practice. To help you become thoroughly familiar with the material, we have included many problems within and at the end of each chapter in the text. It is our experience that such questions are not put to their best use unless correct answers are also available. Indeed, answers alone are not enough. If you know how to work a problem and find that your answer agrees with the correct one, fine. But what if you work conscientiously, yet cannot solve the problem? You then give in to temptation, look up the answer, and encounter yet another dilemma–how in the world did the author get that answer? This solutions book has been written with this difficulty in mind. For many of the problems, all of the reasoning involved in getting the correct answer is spelled out in detail. Many of the answers also include cross-refe rences to the text. If you cannot solve a particular problem, these references will guide you to parts of the text that you should review. Each chapter of the text is briefly summarized. Whenever pertinent, the chapter summary is followed by a list of all the new reactions and mechanisms encountered in that chapter. These lists should be especially helpful to you as you review for examinations. When you study a new subject, it is always useful to know what is expected. To help you, we have included in this study guide a list of learning objectives for each chapter—that is, a list of what you should be able to do after you have read and studied that chapter. Your instructor may want to delete items from these lists of objectives or add to them. However, we believe that if you have mastered these objectives—and the problems should help you to do this—you should have no difficulty with exam inations. Furthermore, you should be very well prepared for further courses that require this course as a prerequisite. Near the end of this study guide you will find additional sections that may help you to study for the final examination in the course. The SUMMARY OF SYNTHETIC METHODS lists the important ways to synthesize each class of compounds discussed in the text. It is followed by the SUMMARY OF REACTION MECHANISMS. Both of these sections have references to appropriate portions of the text, in case you feel that further review is necessary. Finally, you will find two lists of sample test questions. The first deals with synthesis, and the second is a list of multiple-choice questions. Both of these sets should help you prepare for examinations. In addition, we offer you a brief word of advice about how to learn the many reactions you will study during this course. First, learn the nomenclature systems thoroughly for each new class of compounds that is introduced. Then, rather than memorizing the particular examples of reactions given in the text, study reactions as being typical of a class of compounds. For example, if you are asked how compound A will react with compound B, proceed in the following way. First ask yourself: to what class of compounds does A belong? How does this class of compounds react with B (or with compounds of the general class to which B belongs)? Then proceed from the general reaction to the specific case at hand. This approach will probably help you to eliminate some of the memory work often associated with organic chemistry courses. We urge you to study regularly, and hope that this study guide and solutions book will make it easier for you to do so. Copyright 2013 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.
