Study Guide and Solutions

As you study organic chemistry, take the time to work the problems. Do the ones you can, and ask for help on the ones you can t. If you re stumped by a particular problem, check the accompanying Study Guide and Solutions Manual for an explanation that will help clarify the difficulty. Working problems takes effort, but the payoff in knowledge and understanding is immense. 

The following answers are meant only as a quick check while you study. Full answers for all problems are provided in the accompanying Study Guide and Solutions Manual.

Solutions to molecular modeling exercises are not provided in this Study Guide and Solutions Manual. You should use Learning By Modeling for these exercises. 

The Study Guide and Solutions Manual contains detailed solutions to all the problems in the text. Learning how to solve a problem is, in our view, more important than merely knowing the correct answer. To that end we have included solutions sufficiently detailed to provide the student with the steps leading to the solution of each problem. 

This study guide and solutions book was written to help you learn organic chemistry. The principles and facts of this subject are not easily learned by simply reading them, even repeatedly. Formulas, equations, and molecular structures are best mastered by written practice. To help you become thoroughly familiar with the material, we have included many problems within and at the end of each chapter in the text.
