Organic Chemistry Vol II introduces students to the main aspects of modern organic chemistry in a clear and thorough fashion. The text employs a student-oriented functional group approach to help students build and broaden their foundational knowledge within the discipline.

The second edition of Organic Chemistry has been divided into two volumes. The second volume builds upon information presented in the first volume. Opening chapters cover alkadienes and alkynes, molecular orbital concepts, nuclear magnetic resonance, and infrared spectrometry. Students learn about the reactions of benzene and its derivatives, aldehydes and ketones, amines and related compounds, and carboxylic acids. Additional chapters examine enamines, enolates, and carbohydrates.

The content supports mastery by providing clear explanations and problems that emphasize application and practice. Organic Chemistry Vol II is an ideal resource for semester-long courses in chemistry and organic chemistry. The text can be paired with Organic Chemistry Vol I to support a two-semester course.
