This textbook that will aid in proficiency of the basics of organic reactions, mechanisms, and processes through which chemical compounds form and react. The first volume in this series covers much of the reactions of alkenes and alkynes, as well as several other key functional groups in organic chemistry. This resource provides tools and study guides for each topic, featuring a variety of problems and common mistakes to help readers build fluency in solving problems. Topics covered include: bonding & resonance, orbital hybridization, stereochemistry, organic nomenclature, the chemistry of alkenes and alkynes, SN1/E1 and SN2/E2 reactions, acid-base chemistry, as well as choice components of the reactions of alcohols. The topics and ideas covered in this volume are identical to those covered in a first year organic chemistry course. It is complete with many graphical depictions of reactions and their mechanisms, with their processes well-explained, as well as end of chapter problems for you to try on your own after mastering the material in the chapter. Whether it be for a course at university or for a general love of learning, this book will help you to master key principles when it comes to understanding and deciphering organic chemistry. A keen awareness of these ideas is useful even in everyday life, on the back of a bottle of shampoo or in the foods that we eat everyday. The importance of this topic cannot be understated and it would be beneficial to anyone to develop this awareness. Overall, this textbook is a tool on your path to mastering organic chemistry!
