Preface

My goal in writing Organic Chemistry was to create a text that showed students the beauty
and logic of organic chemistry by giving them a book that they would use. Organic Chemistry
is my attempt to simplify and clarify a course that intimidates many students—to make organic
chemistry interesting, relevant, and accessible to all students, both chemistry majors and those
interested in pursuing careers in biology, medicine, and other disciplines, without sacrificing
the rigor they need to be successful in the future.

The Basic Features


∙ Style This text is different—by design. The text uses less prose and more diagrams,
equations, tables, and bulleted summaries to introduce and reinforce the major concepts
and themes of organic chemistry.
∙ Content Organic Chemistry accents basic themes in an effort to keep memorization at a
minimum. Relevant examples from everyday life are used to illustrate concepts, and this
material is integrated throughout the chapter rather than confined to a boxed reading. Each
topic is broken down into small chunks of information that are more manageable and easily
learned. Sample problems are used as a tool to illustrate stepwise problem solving. Exceptions
to the rule and older, less useful reactions are omitted to focus attention on the basic themes.
∙ Organization Organic Chemistry uses functional groups as the framework within which
chemical reactions are discussed. Similar reactions are grouped together so that parallels
can be emphasized. These include acid–base reactions (Chapter 2), oxidation and reduction
(Chapters 12 and 17), radical reactions (Chapter 13), and reactions of organometallic
reagents (Chapter 17).
By introducing one new concept at a time, keeping the basic themes in focus, and breaking
complex problems down into small pieces, I have found that many students find organic chem-
istry an intense but learnable subject. Many, in fact, end the year-long course surprised that
they have actually enjoyed their organic chemistry experience.

Organization and Presentation


For the most part, the overall order of topics in the text is consistent with the way most instruc-
tors currently teach organic chemistry. There are, however, some important differences in the
way topics are presented to make the material logical and more accessible. This can especially
be seen in the following areas.
∙ Review material Chapter 1 presents a healthy dose of review material covering Lewis
structures, molecular geometry and hybridization, bond polarity, and types of bonding.
Although many of these topics are covered in general chemistry courses, they are presented
here from an organic chemist’s perspective. I have found that giving students a firm grasp
of these fundamental concepts helps tremendously in their understanding of later material.
∙ Acids and bases Chapter 2 on acids and bases serves two purposes. It gives students experi-
ence with curved arrow notation using some familiar proton transfer reactions. It also illustrates
how some fundamental concepts in organic structure affect a reaction, in this case an acid–base
reaction. Since many mechanisms involve one or more acid–base reactions, I emphasize proton
transfer reactions early and come back to this topic often throughout the text.
∙ Functional groups Chapter 3 uses the functional groups to introduce important properties
of organic chemistry. Relevant examples—PCBs, vitamins, soap, and the cell membrane—
illustrate fundamental solubility concepts. In this way, practical topics that are sometimes
found in the last few chapters of an organic chemistry text (and thus often omitted because
xix
xx Preface

instructors run out of time) are introduced early so that students can better grasp why they
are studying the discipline.
∙ Stereochemistry Stereochemistry (the three-dimensional structure of molecules) is intro-
duced early (Chapter 5) and reinforced often so that students have every opportunity to learn
and understand a crucial concept in modern chemical research, drug design, and synthesis.
∙ Modern reactions While there is no shortage of new chemical reactions to present in
an organic chemistry text, I have chosen to concentrate on new methods that introduce a
particular three-dimensional arrangement in a molecule, so-called asymmetric or enanti-
oselective reactions. Examples include Sharpless epoxidation (Chapter 12), CBS reduction
(Chapter 17), and enantioselective synthesis of amino acids (Chapter 27).
∙ Grouping reactions Because certain types of reactions have their own unique character-
istics and terminology that make them different from the basic organic reactions, I have
grouped these reactions together in individual chapters. These include acid–base reactions
(Chapter 2), oxidation and reduction (Chapters 12 and 17), radical reactions (Chapter 13),
and reactions of organometallic reagents (Chapter 17). I have found that focusing on a group
of reactions that share a common theme helps students to better see their similarities.
∙ Synthesis   Synthesis, one of the most difficult topics for a beginning organic student to
master, is introduced in small doses, beginning in Chapter 7 and augmented with a detailed
discussion of retrosynthetic analysis in Chapter 11. In later chapters, special attention is
given to the retrosynthetic analysis of compounds prepared by carbon–carbon bond-form-
ing reactions (for example, Sections 17.11 and 18.9C).
∙ Spectroscopy Because spectroscopy is such a powerful tool for structure determination,
four methods are discussed over three chapters (Spectroscopy A, B, and C).
∙ Chapter Reviews End-of-chapter summaries succinctly summarize the main concepts
and themes of the chapter, making them ideal for review prior to working the end-of-
chapter problems or taking an exam.

New to this Edition


Students sometimes ask me if the facts of organic chemistry have significantly changed since
the last edition. While the basic principles remain the same—carbon forms four bonds in
stable compounds and oppositely charged species attract each other—organic chemistry is a
dynamic subject that is continually refined as new facts are determined, and new editions
reflect current understanding. Each year, novel compounds are discovered and new drugs are
marketed, and these compounds replace older examples to illustrate particular concepts. Also
of significance is how the material in the text is presented. I continue to endeavor to make this
difficult subject as student-friendly as possible, by redesigning sample problems and end-of-
chapter material, and rewriting sentences and paragraphs for improved clarity.

General
Expanded Problem-Solving Approach A central component of each chapter of Organic
Chemistry has always been the Sample Problems, which illustrate how to solve key elements
of the chapter. In this edition, Sample Problems are always paired with a follow-up Problem
to allow students to apply what they have just learned. The Problems are followed by “More
Practice,” a list of end-of-chapter problems that are similar in concept. Students can find
detailed solutions and verify their answers to all of the Problems from the book with the
Organic Chemistry Student Study Guide/Solutions Manual.
Chapter Review The end-of-chapter summary sections have been expanded into parts: Key
Concepts, Key Skills, Key Reactions, and Key Mechanism Concepts, with structures and
examples to illustrate each part, providing students with a broader and more detailed overview
of each chapter’s important concepts and skills. Extensive cross-referencing has also been
added to connect this material with relevant Sample Problems, Problems, Figures, and Tables
within the body of the chapter.
Artwork and Chemical Structures The colors in artwork throughout the text were revised
for emphasis, clarity, and consistency. Color has also been used in many areas to help students
better understand three-dimensional structure, stereochemistry, and reactions.
Preface xxi

Problems Over 300 new problems have been added, increasing the variety of problems for
instructors and students alike.
New How To’s, Sample Problems, and Illustrations Much new content has also been added
throughout the new edition to clarify topics and enhance the student learning experience.
Photos Roughly one-half of the chapter-opening photos have been replaced with photos
emphasizing relevant material within the chapter. More marginal photos of applications have
also been added.
Online Only Content The chapter on Lipids appears online and is available in customizable
versions of the text in McGraw-Hill Create. A supplement covering Imine Derivatives is also
available on the Online Learning Center’s Instructor Resources, via the Library tab in Connect.

Chapter-Specific
Spectroscopy
The revisions to the spectroscopy coverage are designed to allow for more flexibility, making these
chapters more portable to accommodate various lecture and lab arrangements. Three new spec-
troscopy chapters have been created for the sixth edition: Spectroscopy A Mass Spectrometry;
Spectroscopy B Infrared Spectroscopy; and Spectroscopy C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
­Spectroscopy. The coverage and problem sets for these chapters have also been expanded to include
material previously covered in other sections of earlier editions. Extensive cross-­referencing has
been added so that whether spectroscopy is covered early or late in an organic chemistry course,
students can readily find the material they need.
∙ Spectroscopy A Mass Spectrometry There has been extensive revision of the molecular
ion, molecular formulas, and fragmentation coverage. A new How To was added on pro-
posing molecular formulas from molecular ions. New Sample Problems on using molecu-
lar ions and degrees of unsaturation to propose molecular formulas and on determining
isomer identity using fragmentation were also added. Several mass spectra have been
added to the text and in problems.
∙ Spectroscopy B Infrared Spectroscopy A new How To on analyzing an IR spectrum
has been added. The chapter also includes a new Sample Problem B.1 on carbonyl absorp-
tions. Section B.3 has been expanded to include the effect of resonance on a carbonyl
absorption, and a new section on IR absorptions based on functional groups also appears
in the chapter. A new Table B.1 summarizes IR absorption by functional group.
∙ Spectroscopy C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Section C.7 on complex
splitting was extensively revised to add clarity and deeper understanding for students who
often struggle with this topic. There are also two new sample problems: Sample Problem
C.3 on determining proton equivalency in cyclic compounds and Sample Problem C.8 on
looking for points of difference in the NMR spectra of similar compounds. More complex
NMRs, previously found in later chapters, were imported to expand the breadth of the
problems.

Carbonyls
The coverage of nitriles has been moved to the chapter on carboxylic acids, forming Chapter 19,
Carboxylic Acids and Nitriles. This chapter has been moved to follow Aldehydes and Ketones,
making this coverage closer to the chemistry of acyl derivatives of carboxylic acids. These revi-
sions also allow for the coverage of the nucleophilic addition reactions that occur with nitriles
in closer proximity to the coverage of nucleophilic additions of aldehydes and ketones.

Other New Coverage


Several sections include new material, including Section 4.7, sources of methane in the
­atmosphere; Section 5.5, drawing an enantiomer of a complex compound; Section 7.4, drugs
that contain fluorine; Section 13.9, the latest ozone map and updated information on CFC
alternatives now in use; Section 19.4, new drugs that contain nitriles; Section 26.12, human
milk oligosaccharides; and Section 29.7, how isoprene units are connected.

xxiv Preface

Features of the Text to Make Learning Organic Chemistry Easier


Illustrations Organic Chemistry is supported by a well-developed illustration program.
Besides traditional skeletal (line) structures and condensed formulas, there are numerous ball-
and-stick molecular models and electrostatic potential maps to help students grasp the three-
dimensional structure of molecules (including stereochemistry) and to better understand the
distribution of electronic charge.
Micro-to-Macro Illustrations Unique to Organic Chemistry are micro-to-macro illustrations,
where line art and photos combine with chemical structures to reveal the underlying molecular
structures giving rise to macroscopic properties of common phenomena. Examples include
starch and cellulose (Chapter 5), adrenaline (Chapter 7), partial hydrogenation of vegetable oil
(Chapter 12), and dopamine (Chapter 23).
Spectra Over 100 spectra created specifically for Organic Chemistry are presented mainly
in the spectroscopy chapters. The spectra are color-coded by type and generously labeled. Mass
spectra are green; infrared spectra are red; and proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance
spectra are blue.
Mechanisms Curved arrow notation is used extensively to help students follow the movement
of electrons in reactions.

Problem Solving
Sample Problems Sample Problems show students how to solve organic chemistry problems
in a logical, stepwise manner. More than 800 follow-up problems are located throughout the
chapters to test whether students understand concepts covered in the Sample Problems.
How To’s How To’s provide students with detailed instructions on how to work through key
processes.

Applications and Summaries


Chapter Reviews Succinct summary tables reinforcing important principles and concepts are
provided at the end of each chapter.
Margin Notes Margin notes are placed carefully throughout the chapters, providing interest-
ing information relating to topics covered in the text. Some margin notes are illustrated with
photos to make the chemistry more relevant.

its outlet in unsystematic and uncriticised imaginative construction.
Metaphysics they will certainly have, and if not conscious and
coherent, then unconscious and incoherent Metaphysics. The soul
that is not at rest in itself without some “sight of that immortal sea
which brought it hither,” if hindered from beholding the object of its
quest through the clear glass of rational reflection, will none the less
seek to discern it amid the distorting hazes and mists of superstition.
It is in such seekers after the Infinite that Metaphysics has its natural
and proper followers, and for them the study is its own justification
and its own reward. If a work like the present should prove of any
help to such students, whether by offering positive suggestions
which they can accept, or by assisting them to know definitely why
they reject its conclusions, it will perhaps have achieved as much as
its writer could reasonably expect.

235. I use the epithet in its familiar Platonic sense. The “pure”
pleasure is that which is not dependent, in whole or in part, for its
pleasantness upon a previous ἔνδεια, or actual experience of craving
or desire. I do not mean, as Plato possibly did, that a “mixed”
pleasure, preceded by such ἔνδεια, is a contrast-effect without
positive quality of its own.
236. Compare the argument of Appearance and Reality, chap. 26,
pp. 469-485 (1st ed.), and the famous scholium to Prop. 17 of part 1
of Spinoza’s Ethics, where it is contended that “if intellect and volition
belong to the eternal essence of God, each of these attributes must
at least be understood in a different sense from the current.”
237. I say “finite or infinite” advisedly. The mystic’s condemnation
of the relational scheme as inadequate to express the full nature of
the real, holds good just as much in application to actual finite
experience as in application to the ultimate whole. We may say not
only of “God,” but of human persons, that they are much more than
the “union of thought and will” as such. And in personal human love,
no less than in the saint’s “beatific vision” or the philosopher’s
“intellectual love of God,” we have a type of experience which may
for some psychological purposes be analysed into a combination of
ideational and volitional processes, but emphatically does not, in its
concrete existence, consist of a synthesis of actual ideas and actual
volitions. See ante, p. 152.

Wells’s tale, The New Accumulator, which is certainly a
reference to his 1901 tale “The New Accelerator”.
On p. 340, the first paragraph refers to ‘two points’,
and prefaces the first with ‘(a)’. But there is no ‘(b)’ to
denote the second point. It seems likely that ‘(b)’ should
precede the next paragraph, or perhaps following the
introductory ‘Further’.
The Index reference to p. 467 for ‘Feeling in the
Absolute’ cannot be verified. The page does not exist,
and no other page can be identified with certainty.
Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have
been corrected, and are noted here. The references are
to the page and line in the original.

law in the United States and you are located in the United

Foundation.”

• You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who


notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that

License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and
discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of Project
Gutenberg™ works.

distribution of Project Gutenberg™ works.

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on,
transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright

these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the
medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,”
such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt
data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other
