The majority of these problems are written at the intermediate level-more advanced than the easier drill problems, but not as complex as the challenge problems.

New to the Third Edition of Organic Chemistry by Janice Gorzynski Smith:

Organic Chemistry is my attempt to simplify and clarify a course that intimidates many students-to make organic chemistry interesting, relevant, and accessible to all students, both chemistry majors and those interested in pursuing careers in biology, medicine, and other disciplines, without sacrificing the rigor they need to be successful in the future. I have followed two guiding principles: use relevant and interesting applications to illustrate chemical phenomena, and present the material in a student-friendly fashion using bulleted lists, solved problems, and extensive illustrations and summaries. This text is based on lecture notes and handouts that were developed in my own organic chemistry courses over my 30-year teaching career. My goal in writing Organic Chemistry was to create a text that showed students the beauty and logic of organic chemistry by giving them a book that they would use.
