    Essential Organic Chemistry is designed to help students see organic chemistry as an interesting and exciting science and to give them an opportunity to develop critical-thinking skills. It engages students through detailed presentation of reactions, providing a solid understanding of reactivity rather than requiring rote memorization. Once students understand the reasons behind the reactivity of organic compounds, they then will be better prepared to understand the reactions involved in such areas as metabolism, PCR, and genetic engineering.
