Preface xix • Functional groups Chapter 3 uses the functional groups to introduce important properties of organic chemistry Relevant examples—PCBs, vitamins, soap, and the cell membrane—illustrate basic solubility concepts In this way, practical topics that are sometimes found in the last few chapters of an organic chemistry text (and thus often omitted because instructors run out of time) are introduced... Concepts End-of-chapter summaries succinctly summarize the main concepts and themes of the chapter, making them ideal for review prior to working the end-of-chapter problems or taking an exam New to the Third Edition • In response to reviewer feedback, new sections have been added on fragmentation patterns in mass spectrometry (Section 13.3) and peptide sequencing (Section 28.6) In addition, sections on... the chemical reaction • Twenty new NMR spectra have been added in Chapters 14–25 to give students additional practice in this important type of analysis • Over 350 new problems are included in the third edition The majority of these problems are written at the intermediate level—more advanced than the easier drill problems, but not as complex as the challenge problems Beginning with Chapter 11, there...
