Organic Chemistry

This book is a textbook meant for a one semester course in organic chemistry at the senior undergraduate/beginning graduate level. The material is presented from a mechanistic point of view. The book begins with chapters on fundamental principles and proceeds to functional group manipulations, carbon-carbon bond formation and synthesis. Chapters on methods for determining reaction mechanisms and methods for the elucidation of organic structures round out the subject and provide additional perspective into modern ways to investigate organic transformations.
