The simplest reaction between two organic molecules might be the movement of a proton from one compound to the other. Can you predict when, and to what extent, this reaction will take place? If not, try out this workbook that can be used in conjunction with any textbook. Students can learn critical concepts at their own pace. Written by two award-winning instructors from the University of British Columbia, this workbook is the smart approach to understanding one of the most important reactions in organic chemistry.

The idea of conformation, or orientation of molecular shapes in space, is a fundamental concept in organic chemistry. Are you gauche enough to admit that you can’t tell a chair from a boat? This workbook, written by two award-winning instructors from the University of British Columbia, will help you identify and, more importantly, draw critical views and shapes such as the Newman projection, the anti and gauche conformations of alkanes and cyclohexane ring-flipping between one chair form and another. This workbook can be used in conjunction with any textbook.

Confused about organic stereochemistry? The Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules got you down? This workbook, written by two award-winning instructors at the University of British Columbia, has been used to help organic chemistry students for years. Using a step-by-step approach, suitable to be used in conjunction with any textbook, this workbook helps students learn critical concepts at their own pace. It is suitable for any introductory-level organic student who wants to understand the smart approach to understanding the details of stereochemistry and configuration.

This workbook covers the basics of simple substitution reactions in organic chemistry. If you can’t tell your nucleophiles from your leaving groups, or whether the alkyl halide you’re looking at will fragment in the reaction or wait until it gets shoved by its reactant, this workbook may be the tool that you need. This workbook is compatible with any textbook and was prepared by two award-winning instructors at the University of British Columbia for its freshman-level chemistry course. The topics covered include bimolecular reactions, unimolecular reactions, and the effects of structure on the relative success of each process.
