Organic Chemistry, Hybrid Edition
Master organic chemistry with the help of this proven best-seller! John McMurry's ORGANIC CHEMISTRY is consistently praised as the most clearly written book available for the course. In John McMurry's "I wrote this book because I love writing. I get great pleasure and satisfaction from taking a complicated subject, turning it around until I see it clearly from a new angle, and then explaining it in simple words." Through his lucid writing and ability to show the beauty and logic of organic chemistry, McMurry makes learning enjoyable. The highest compliment that can be given to a chemistry book applies to It works!

Come potrei perdere l'occasione di recensire anche il libro dell'università
Frase che non ti aspetti all'inizio di un capitolo
In the 19th and early-20th centuries, benzene was used as an aftershave lotion because of its pleasant smell and as a solvent to decaffeinate coffee beans. Neither is a good idea
tipica frase (non e’ vero, ma alle 22.30 mi ha fatto sorridere) del libro
Geraniol biosynthesis begins with dissociation of dimethylallyl diphosphate to give an allylic carbocation, which reacts with isopentenyl diphosphate (FIGURE 11-15). From the viewpoint of isopentenyl diphosphate, the reaction is an electrophilic alkene addition, but from the viewpoint of dimethylallyl diphosphate, the process is an SN1 reaction
5-12 Chirality in nature and Chiral environments
Although the different enantiomers of a chiral molecule have the same physical
properties, they usually have different biological properties. For example,
the (+) enantiomer of limonene has the odor of oranges and lemons, but the
(-) enantiomer has the odor of pine trees.
Sucralose is about 600 times as sweet as sucrose, so only 1mg is equivalent to an entire teaspoon of table sugar
Ethanol is classified medically as a central nervous system (CNS) depressant. Its effects—that is, being drunk—resemble the human response to anesthetics.
There is an initial excitability and increase in sociable behavior, but this results from depression of inhibition rather than from stimulation. At a blood alcohol concentration of 0.1% to 0.3%, motor coordination is affected, accompanied by loss of balance, slurred speech, and amnesia. When blood alcohol concentration rises to between 0.3% and 0.4%, nausea and loss of consciousness occur. Above 0.6%, spontaneous respiration and cardiovascular regulation are affected, ultimately leading to death. The LD50 of ethanol is 10.6 g/kg
Throughout the body, ethanol causes blood vessels to dilate, resulting in flushing of the skin and a
sensation of warmth as blood moves into capillaries beneath the surface. The result is not a warming of the body, but an increased loss of heat at the surface.
The most obvious property of carboxylic acids is implied by their name: carboxylic acids are acidic (qua sono all’ultimo capitolo che studiero’, e la spensieratezza di questa frase spero continui in me anche tra qualche giorno, dopo l’esame)
ho imparato anche molte cose meno utili nella vita di tutti i giorni, ma queste sono alcune altre cose che ho pensato di voler ricordare
