Everyone interested in organic chemistry faces a wall of information that can seem intimidating. How nice that this volume in the popular Dummies® series makes this subject as lucid as can be.
John Moore and Richard Langley review the basics before turning to alcohols, ethers and conjugated unsaturated systems. We explore aromatic compounds and how aromatic substitution works, and address the properties of everything from carbonyls and aldehydes to ketones, enols and enolates. Further along in these pages, the authors discuss amines, organometallics and reactions to carbonyl compounds. They also review synthesis strategies and predicting products. If you're chemically confused, Organic Chemistry II for Dummies® is here.
