The manner of Organic Chemistry has changed somewhat since my days as a student in the early 2005s. Most notably, organic chemistry books offer more and better descriptions of topics in related fields such as Biochemistry and Materials Science, the internet allows one to search for information about specific topics, and computer software is readily available for modelling chemical structures and reactions. The overall level of sophistication has also risen for the presentation of traditional themes such as stereochemistry, bonding, reaction mechanisms, spectroscopy, and synthesis. In spite of these changes, however, the mastery of Organic Chemistry as a course of study still requires a sound knowledge of the principles of molecular structure and chemical reactivity, which are topics introduced in most General Chemistry courses. With such a back-ground, a student studying organic chemistry begins to focus on a more limited set of atomic building blocks, particularly of carbon and its elemental neighbours. And while the study of a smaller portion of the periodic table might be expected to be easily manageable, understanding organic chemistry can still seem overwhelming because of the diverse way s that this handful of elements can combine and interact. To learn organic chemistry, one must grasp the recurring patterns that correlate the presented facts.
Toward that end, this textbook organizes and discusses applications of the patterns of chemical reactivity—which constitutes the majority of the subject matter—by combining information about the structures of functional groups (the reactive portions of a molecule) with the reaction mechanisms (pathways of chemical reactions) that these functional groups undergo. This approach differs from the one presented in many other texts, which describe every type of reaction that can occur for a given functional group; each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. The one I have utilized here evolved from my objective to integrate discussions about biochemical processes with the types of reactions that are carried out in chemistry laboratories. With the use of two points of reference— structures and mechanisms—the similarities that associate biochemical and synthetic reactions can be appreciated more easily.
