Organic Chemistry 3rd Ed

Peer review played a very strong role in the development of the first and second editions of Organic Chemistry. Specifically, the first edition manuscript was reviewed by nearly 500 professors and over 5,000 students, and the second edition manuscript was based on xiii Preface xiv PREFACE comments received from 300 professors and 900 students. In preparing the third edition, peer review has played an equally prominent role. We have received a tremendous amount of input from the market, including surveys, class tests, diary reviews, and phone interviews. All of this input has been carefully culled and has been instrumental in identifying the focus of the third edition.
