Title overview

Organic Chemistry, Global Edition provides the conceptual foundations, chemical logic and problem-solving skills needed to reason your way to solutions for problems in synthetic organic chemistry, biochemistry and medicine. By building an organic chemistry framework, you can understand and apply learning rather than relying on memorization.

The 9th Edition presents a wealth of problem-solving strategies, over 300 new problems (now totaling over 2,000), updated content and organizational changes to support the unique ways you acquire knowledge, study, practice and master organic chemistry.
