Helps student move beyond memorisation.  The Fifth Edition of Organic Chemistry is written to support all kinds of learners—whether students read the book, or use it as a reference. New “Visualise, Understand, Draw” sections help students draw molecules well, visualise how they are formed, and understand why reactions occur. The Fifth Edition has been revised to be more accessible, with a focus on the basics and more opportunities for problem-solving practice, while the robust media package helps students visualise organic chemistry.

 Written and designed by expert teachers.  Steven A. Fleming and Maitland Jones have more than fifty years combined experience teaching organic chemistry. They know how to get students to think about and understand each concept, and build student confidence in solving problems. The authors employ a conversational writing style that is authoritative, instructive, and interesting to read.

 Media resources give students more opportunities for visualisation.  Organic Reaction Animations (ORA), now online, is a compilation of more than fifty organic reactions whose pathways have been calculated and animated to help students visualise the events that occur in the most important organic reactions. Each reaction is represented in 4 ways:

Ball-and-stick model Space-filling model Ball-and-stick with the HOMO superimposed Ball-and-stick with the LUMO superimposed

ORA is integrated into the text with icons identifying each reaction and also includes tutorials on the reactions themselves. Students can test their understanding by solving the ORA Problems that are found at the end of most chapters.  Every copy of the text includes an access code to ORA, the e-book, and SmartWork.

Maitland Jones, Jr., is Professor of Chemistry at New York University. His undergraduate and graduate degrees are from Yale University. A long-time teacher of the organic chemistry course at Princeton, he is also an internationally recognized research scientist. His field of expertise is reactive intermediates, extremely short-lived molecules that exist only momentarily in the course of a chemical reaction. Within that subfield, Professor Jones is particularly interested in carbenes, carbon atoms with only two of their bond-forming electrons linked to other atoms, instead of the usual four. He is considered one of the world’s leading authorities on this subject and travels widely, lecturing on his research. Steven A. Fleming has been teaching organic chemistry for 30 years. He is Professor of Teaching and Instruction at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. He earned his BS degree at the University of Utah and his PhD at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He taught at Brigham Young University (BYU) for 23 years before moving to Temple University in 2008. His research at BYU dealt with regio- and stereo-controlled carbon–carbon bond forming reactions. His research at Temple University is in the area of chemical education. He has been instrumental in the development of the teaching tools Organic Reaction Animations (ORA) and Bio-Organic Reaction Animations (BioORA). These tools have helped, and continue to help, students understand organic chemistry and biochemistry.
