Organic Chemistry

by Maitland Jones Jr., Steven A. Fleming

“Visualize, Understand, Draw” helps students to move beyond memorization.

Written by two expert teachers, the Fifth Edition of Organic Chemistry is written to support all kinds of learners—whether students read the book, or use it as a reference. New “Visualize, Understand, Draw” sections help students draw molecules well, visualize how they are formed, and understand why reactions occur. The Fifth Edition has been revised to be more accessible, with a focus on the basics and more opportunities for problem-solving practice, while the robust media package helps students visualize organic chemistry. Please note that this version of the ebook does not include access to any media or print supplements that are sold packaged with the printed book.

Material in this textbook is presented in an order that I believe to be conducive for undergraduate education; however, Jones' spends an excessive amount of time proposing alternative theories and then explains how they're invalid or false. I find this to detract from the material students need to learn, and dilute the overall topics they retain from each section. Also worth noting, the introduction of many functional groups and reactions contains considerable molecular orbital theory, which may be extraneous depending on the courses' objective or demographic. For example, a class primarily consisting of pre-medical students will find this topic unnecessary

One of the many textbooks I was required to read in college, and I found this one to be understandable and not too dense for the learner.
