bPERSPECTIVES ON STRUCTURE AND MECHANISM IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRYb pbBeyond the basics physical organic chemistry textbook, written for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate studentsb pBased on the author's first-hand classroom experience, iPerspectives on Structure and Mechanism in Organic Chemistryi uses complementary conceptual models to give new perspectives on the structures and reactions of organic compounds, with the overarching goal of helping students think beyond the simple models of introductory organic chemistry courses. Through this approach, the text better prepares readers to develop new ideas in the future. pIn the 3rd Edition, the author thoroughly updates the topics covered and reorders the contents to introduce computational chemistry earlier and to provide a more natural flow of topics, proceeding from substitution, to elimination, to addition. About 20 of the 438 problems have been either replaced or updated, with answers available in the companion solutions m
