About the Book

The Survival Guide to Organic Chemistry: Bridging the Gap from General Chemistry enables organic chemistry students to bridge the gap between general chemistry and organic chemistry. It makes sense of the myriad of in-depth concepts of organic chemistry, without overwhelming them in the necessary detail often given in a complete organic chemistry text.

Here, the topics covered span the entire standard organic chemistry curriculum. The authors describe subjects which require further explanation, offer alternate viewpoints for understanding and provide hands-on practical problems and solutions to help master the material. This text ultimately allows students to apply key ideas from their general chemistry curriculum to key concepts in organic chemistry.

Key Features:

  • Reviews key general chemistry concepts and techniques, adapted for application to important organic principles
  • Provides practical guidance to help students make the notoriously well-known and arduous transition from general chemistry to organic chemistry
  • Explains organic concepts and reaction mechanisms, generally expanding the focus on how to understand each step from a more intuitive viewpoint
  • Covers concepts that need further explanation as well as those that summarize and emphasize key ideas or skills necessary in this field. An added bonus is help with organizing principles to make sense of a wide range of similar reactions and mechanisms
  • Implements a user-friendly process to achieve the end result of problem solving
  • Covers organic chemistry I and II concepts at the level and depth of a standard ACS organic chemistry curriculum; features practice problems and solutions to help master the material, including an extensive and comprehensive bank of practice exams with solutions
    About the Author:

    Patrick E. McMahon has for the past twenty three years been teaching both general chemistry and organic chemistry at Benedictine University in Lisle, Illinois. Prior to that, he was a research scientist for Amoco Chemical Company at the Naperville, Illinois campus. McMahon has also taught at several institutions in the Chicago area, including Elmhurst College, Dominican University and Triton Community College. He is a member of the American Legion and served in the United States Army from 1970-1972. His main area of research interest is organic reaction catalysis. Awards that can be accredited to his name include the B.J. Babler award for outstanding contribution to under-graduate instruction at the University of Illinois, the Dean's Award for Teaching Excellence at Benedictine University and first recipient of the Shining Star award given by the student senate for outstanding contribution to students at Benedictine University.

    Bohdan B. Khomtchouk is a triple-major summa cum laude (B.Sc. Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, B.Sc. Mathematics and B.Sc. Physics) and is currently United States Department of Defense NDSEG Fellow at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

    Claes Wahlestedt, MD, PhD, is Leonard M. Miller Professor at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and is working on a range of chemistry related translational efforts in his roles as Associate Dean and Center Director for Therapeutic Innovation. The author of some 250 peer reviewed scientific publications with 30,000+ citations, his ongoing research projects concern chemical biology, epigenetics, genomics and drug/biomarker discovery across several therapeutic areas. He has experience not only from academia, but also from leadership positions in the pharmaceutical industry, namely Astra-Zeneca, Pharmacia & Upjohn and Pharmacia Corporation.
