ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Ninth Edition, is revised to align with the way students approach complicated material. It includes pull-out organic chemistry reaction roadmaps organized by chapter to help you devise your own reaction pathways. Emphasizing practical “how-to” skills, the new edition is packed with problems, along with hundreds of detailed solutions to all in-chapter exercises to guide you through logical approaches to solving problems. New point-by-point summaries at the beginning of each section highlight important content in a way that is easy to review and reference, while in-margin definitions and highlighted integral concepts reinforce key content throughout the text. In the eBook and OWLv2 course, there are 100 author-created videos that explain and illustrate the most difficult concepts.

-
The OWLv2 online homework platform for the Ninth Edition includes nearly 200 new end-of-chapter problems, as well as numerous new mechanism activities.
-
To emphasize that many fundamental principles of organic chemistry are relevant to a variety of topics discussed throughout the text, chapters now include key concepts and lessons from quantum mechanics. This reinforcement can help students better understand how fundamental principles explain key patterns of molecular structure, properties and reactivity.
-
New, concise summaries for the beginning of each section. Rather than simply recapping the material, these summaries include bulleted lessons, clear explanations and graphic illustrations of key reactions, making it easy for students to focus.
-
All answers to chapter questions have been rewritten to better reflect the way students approach complicated problems. Each answer reviews relevant concepts, then guides students through a step-by-step approach to reach the correct solution.
-
100 author-created videos walk students through example problems and important graphics. Covering key lessons in an engaging way, the videos provide students with a trustworthy resource to help them learn difficult and important material.
-
To better prepare students for the MCAT exam, MCAT Practice: Passage and Questions features throughout the text ask students to read a brief essay organic chemistry and then answer a series of relevant multiple-choice questions.
-
Although focused strongly on synthetic organic chemistry, the text explicitly connects key concepts to important biological chemistry topics, increasing relevance for biology majors, pre-med students and others who plan to proceed to biochemistry.
-
Reactions in Context features present selected end-of-chapter problems that illustrate key applications of organic chemistry to medicinal chemistry and the pharmaceutical sciences.
-
Chemical Connections boxes illustrate applications of organic chemistry to everyday settings students may encounter in their personal and professional lives, with topics ranging from blood alcohol screening to snake venom.
-
OWLv2 is an online learning solution for Chemistry that delivers an eTextbook, multimedia activities, auto-graded assessments, and analytics through an accessible platform. It supports you whether teaching synchronous or asynchronous courses, during-class and outside of class, and whether you teach in-person, hybrid, or fully online. You can integrate it into your Learning Management System with automatic grade return. Developed by chemists, OWLv2 elevates thinking through Mastery Learning, empowering students to work at their own pace to understand each concept and skill. It does this better than other digital products through algorithmic question randomization, high-quality question authoring, instant and question-specific feedback, and powerful analytics. The randomization of three factors: chemical, numerical, and contextual, creates thousands of unique questions and ensures that no two students get the same question, and neither does a single student taking subsequent attempts.
-
Mechanisms are presented in a clear, step-by-step fashion with accompanying written commentary, enabling both verbal and visual learners to master the material more easily. In addition, the authors emphasize similarities between related mechanisms using four common characteristics: breaking a bond, making a new bond, adding a proton and taking a proton away.
-
Organic Chemistry Roadmap inserts help students visualize how to interconvert different functional groups (which often require reactions from different chapters) by providing a cumulative, graphical representation of multiple reactions in the context of important functional groups.
-
Chapters include numerous worked examples followed by corresponding problems without answers and a multitude of end-of-chapter problems, including challenging, research-based essay problems; multi-step synthesis problems; reactions in context problems; and roadmap problems.
-
How-To boxes highlight "survival skills" necessary to learn and master organic chemistry. Integrated throughout the text at key points, these essential skills include how to draw curved arrows and push electrons, draw chiral molecules, solve NMR Spectral Problems and more.
