Organic chemistry is a challenging subject, with many students expecting it to require many hours of memorization. Author David Klein's Second Language books prove this is not true—organic chemistry is one continuous story that actually makes sense if you pay close attention. Klein’s books use a conversational tone making them more accessible and easier to read for students.
Organic Chemistry as a Second Language: Second Semester Topics, 6e builds on the principles explored in the first half of the course, delving deeper into molecular mechanisms, reactions, and analytical techniques. Using Klein’s one-of-a-kind SkillBuilder approach, the book includes hands-on exercises and thoroughly explained solutions designed to further reinforce student comprehension of chemical concepts and organic principles. An indispensable supplement to the primary text, this resource covers aromatic compounds, infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, nucleophilic and electrophilic aromatic substitution, ketones and aldehydes, carboxylic acid derivatives, and much more.
Organic Chemistry as a Second Language: Second Semester Topics, 6e teaches students how to ask the right questions to solve problems, study more efficiently, and learn to speak the language of organic chemistry. Like its first-semester companion title, it is an essential ‘guide on the side’ for any organic chemistry student no matter what textbook or instructor-provided lecture material is used. The inclusion of new end of chapter problems, providing both practice and challenge, will prepare students and build confidence come exam time, as well as outside the classroom.
