Organic Chemistry is a suitable text for beginner level students of organic chemistry. It serves as a foundational level course for future organic chemistry courses. The text contains numerous illustrations which will help students easily understand the equations and processes involved in this discipline. The language of the text is simple and easily conveys the fundamentals of the discipline. This text is structured differently from other organic chemistry textbooks. Instead of listing complicated reactions at the start of the book, Bruice has included them in later chapters. The text also highlights interdisciplinary knowledge such as in drug chemistry and life sciences, offering a pathway into advanced level courses in biochemistry and medicinal chemistry. Another special feature of this text is that its structure discourages the memorization of facts. In fact, the author recommends students should reason their way to the solution. Organic Chemistry is organized into 9 sections and 30 chapters. The first section offers an introduction to organic chemistry and covers topics such as acids, bases, electronic structure, and nomenclature. The second section is an introduction to topics such as alkenes, alkene reactions, stereochemistry, and multistep synthesis. In the third section titled Elimination and Substitution Reactions, students will learn about organometallic compounds, radicals, and alkyl halides. Identifying organic compounds is the fourth section, and it looks at different forms of spectroscopy. In the fifth section, students will learn about Carbonyl Compounds. Section six looks at Redox Reactions. In sections seven and eight, Bruice covers topics such as Bioorganic Chemistry, and Special Topics in the field of organic chemistry.
