WHIP problem-solving strategy is included with solved exercises within each chapter, providing a guide for how students should approach problem solving: ‘What How Information Proceed’.
Electron pushing arrows are introduced in early sections and then reinforced in margins throughout the text to help students follow what is happening in the reaction
Worked Examples: Integrating the Concepts section at the end of every chapter includes a series of sample exercises with solutions of the chapter’s most important concepts.
A wide range of end-of-chapter problems include Chapter Integration Problems with step-by-step, worked out solutions, Team Problems for collaborative learning, and Pre-Professional Problems in the style of the MCAT.
Interlude: A Summary of Organic Reaction Mechanisms, following Chapter 14, summarizes the key mechanisms that drive the majority of organic reactions.
Reaction Mechanism Summary Roadmaps summarize the reactivity of each major functional group.

Achieve is Macmillan Learning’s complete online learning system. It houses instructor resources to support teaching and a range of interactive resources and the full ebook to help students succeed in their course. Access to Achieve for instructors is available on this page. Student access to Achieve could be through their institution if the institution has signed a licence or as a separate student purchase. The instructor must set up a course for students to benefit from this product.

‘Animated Mechanism Tours’ explore the 2D and 3D structure of key reactions and allow the student to visualize each step. Assessment questions are included in each tour to help guide student understanding as they navigate the mechanism.
Assignable ‘Chemcast Videos’ are new problem-solving videos addressing the key concepts and problem types from each chapter and linked within the e-book.
‘Instructor Activity Guides (IAG)’ are team problems that are included at the end of each chapter as active learning activities to use in class, recitation, or problem solving sessions. Each IAG includes worksheets (with a fully solved key), supporting clicker slides (with key), and utilizes the WHIP problem solving strategy from the book.
New End of Chapter questions select questions added in each chapter with the digital update.

K. Peter C. Vollhardt

K. Peter C. Vollhardt was born in Madrid, raised in Buenos Aires and Munich, studied at the University of Munich, got his Ph.D. with Professor Peter Garratt at the University College, London, and was a postdoctoral fellow with Professor Bob Bergman (then) at the California Institute of Technology. He moved to Berkeley in 1974 when he began his efforts toward the development of organocobalt reagents in organic synthesis, the preparation of theoretically interesting hydrocarbons, the assembly of novel transition metal arrays with potential in catalysis, and the discovery of a parking space. Among other pleasant experiences, he was a Studienstiftler, Adolf Windaus medalist, Humboldt Senior Scientist, ACS Organometallic Awardee, Otto Bayer Prize Awardee, A. C. Cope Scholar, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Prize Holder, and recipient of the Medal of the University Aix-Marseille and an Honorary Doctorate from The University of Rome Tor Vergata. He is the current Chief Editor of Synlett. Among his more than 350 publications, he treasures especially this textbook in organic chemistry, translated into 13 languages. Peter is married to Marie-Jos Sat, a French artist, and they have two children, Paloma (b. 1994) and Julien (b. 1997).

Neil E. Schore

Neil E. Schore was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1948 and educated in public schools in the Bronx, New York, and Ridgefield, New Jersey. He completed a B.A. with honors in chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania in 1969. Moving back to New York, he worked with the late Professor Nicholas J. Turro at Columbia University, studying photochemical and photophysical processes of organic compounds for his Ph.D. thesis. He first met co-author Peter Vollhardt in the 1970s when they both were doing postdoctoral work in Professor Robert Bergmans laboratory at Cal Tech. Since joining the UC-Davis faculty in 1976, Schore has taught organic chemistry to more than 15,000 nonchemistry majors, winning seven teaching awards, publishing over 100 papers in various areas related to organic chemistry, and refereeing several hundred local youth soccer games. Neil is married to Carrie Erickson, a microbiologist at the UC-Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. They have two children, Michael (b. 1981) and Stefanie (b. 1983), both of whom carried out experiments for the new Seventh Edition of Organic Chemistry.
