Advanced Organic Chemistry: Part A: Structure and Mechanisms (Advanced Organic Chemistry / Part A: Structure and Mechanisms)

Since its original appearance in 1977, Advanced Organic Chemistry has maintained its place as the premier textbook in the field, offering broad coverage of the structure, reactivity and synthesis of organic compounds. As in the earlier editions, the text contains extensive references to both the primary and review literature and provides examples of data and reactions that illustrate and document the generalizations. While the text assumes completion of an introductory course in organic chemistry, it reviews the fundamental concepts for each topic that is discussed.

The two-part fifth edition has been substantially revised and reorganized for greater clarity. Among the changes: Updated material reflecting advances in the field since 2001’s Fourth Edition, especially in computational chemistry; A companion Web site provides digital models for study of structure, reaction and selectivity; Solutions to the exercises provided to instructors online.

The material in Part A is organized on the basis of fundamental structural topics such as structure, stereochemistry, conformation and aromaticity and basic mechanistic types, including nucleophilic substitution, addition reactions, carbonyl chemistry, aromatic substitution and free radical reactions. Together with Part B: Reaction and Synthesis, the two volumes are intended to provide the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student in chemistry with a sufficient foundation to comprehend and use the research literature in organic chemistry.

The control of reactivity to achieve specific syntheses is one of the overarching goals of organic chemistry. Part B describes the most general and useful synthetic reactions, organized on the basis of reaction type. Together with Part A: Structure and Mechanisms, the two volumes are intended to provide the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student in chemistry with a sufficient foundation to comprehend and use the research literature in organic chemistry.

The 4th Edition is still available. To purchase your copy, please contact Springer Customer Services.

Laboratory Manual for Principles of General Chemistry

This collection of challenging experiments will help get readers up to speed on laboratory techniques, safety and experimental procedures. Each experiment is presented with concise objectives, a comprehensive list of techniques, and detailed lab intros and step-by-step procedures. Beran also integrates numerous Dry Labs, experiments that do not involve chemicals but reinforce the reader's knowledge of general chemistry topics such as nomenclature, oxidation numbers, and atomic and molecular structure.

Chemical Principles in the Laboratory (Brooks/Cole Laboratory Series for General Chemistry)

Succeed in chemistry with CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES IN THE LABORATORY! Clear, user-friendly, and direct, this lab manual provides you with the tools you need to successfully complete lab experiments and lab reports. Analyzing the data you observe in the lab sessions is easy with the Advance Study Assignments, found throughout the manual, that give you extra practice with processing data through sample questions.

Veterinary Hematology and Clinical Chemistry: Text and Clinical Case Presentations Set

This beautiful full-color reference is a comprehensive, practical guide to veterinary hematology and clinical chemistry.

Clincial Chemistry: A Laboratory Perspective

Excite your students' interest in clinical chemistry with this innovative new textbook! Organized almost entirely around organ systems, this groudnbreaking text teaches the concepts and principles of clinical chemistry through realistic situations and scenarios. The authors developed this practical approach to encourage students to apply theoretical principles in the laboratory and to develop practical, critical-thinking skills. Key Features * A minimum of five realistics, laboratory-based scenarios introduce each major topic in a chapter. * Clinical cases focus on real-life scenarios and situations encountered in the laboratory, illustrating the type of information presented to and generated by the laboratory regarding patients * "Common Sense Check" boxes highlight important, yet ofte simple, concepts that are invaluable to perform quality laboratory testing * "Test Methodology" boxes summarize pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical aspects of laboratory tests * "The Team Approach" is emphasized, explaining how other members of the health care team interact with the laboratory * Thought-provoking questions and objectives guide students through each topic and help them develop logical thought processess and critical thinking skills

The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action, Second Edition

Standard medicinal chemistry courses and texts are organized by classes of drugs with an emphasis on descriptions of their biological and pharmacological effects. This book represents a new approach based on physical organic chemical principles and reaction mechanisms that rationalize drug action and allow the reader to extrapolate to many related classes of drug molecules. The Second Edition reflects the significant changes in the drug industry over the past decade, and now includes color illustrations, chapter problems, and other elements that make concepts easier to understand.

* Organic chemist's perspective of how drugs are designed and function
* Teaches organic chemists and biochemists the fundamentals of drug design and drug action using drugs as examples
* Extensive use of references to the primary and secondary literature for more in depth reading about all concepts
* Extensive use of structures, schemes, and figures to illustrate points
* Explanations of dual-acting drugs
* Problem sets and answers for each topic
* Casual writing style
* Author has published over 200 articles in the areas of synthesis, bioorganic chemistry, and medicinal chemistry, has been awarded 21 patents, and has invented a drug that is under consideration for commercialization.

Textbook of Biochemistry with Clinical Correlations

This newly revised and updated fifth edition of Devlin’s Textbook of Biochemistry with Clinical Correlations presents the biochemistry of mammalian cells, relates events at the cellular level to physiological processes in the whole animal, and cites examples of human diseases derived from aberrant biochemical processes.
This edition significantly expands the clinical correlation that highlight the significance of biochemistry to specific clinical problems. Full-color illustrations provide clear explanations for the concepts discussed, and end-of-chapter questions and answers act as challenging study material. Reorganized into five practical sections, Textbook of Biochemistry with Clinical Correlations covers these topics and much more:

• Structure of macromolecules–DNA, RNA, and protein structure
  
• Information transmission–replication, transcription, protein synthesis, and control of gene expression
  
• Functions of proteins–protein families, enzymes, membrane structure, and transport mechanisms
  
• Metabolic pathways and their control–carbohydrate, lipid, amino acid, and nucleotide metabolism
  
• Physiological processes–hormone and signal transduction, biochemistry of nervous tissue, muscle vision, coagulation and digestion, and principles of nutrition
