Organic Chemistry (Paperback-2021)

Available for the first time in Achieve, the highly respected Organic Chemistry, 7e is rooted in scholarly tradition, and informed by chemical education. Organic Chemistry helps students achieve a relational understanding of organic chemistry. Loudon and Parise emphasize how key organic chemistry concepts relate to one another through a functional group organization and mechanistic reasoning to help students understand the “why” of reactions. The 7th edition has been rigorously updated and continues to be a trusted reference for instructors, with the most up-to-date research and the highest standard of accuracy. Hallmark features including an elegant writing style, masterful problems, and biological applications are retained and enhanced by Achieve, Macmillan’s new online learning system. Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full flexible range of instruction, including resources to support learning of core concepts, visualization, problem-solving and assessment. Powerful analytics and instructor support resources in Achieve pair with exceptional Organic Chemistry content provides an unrivaled learning experience.

Marc Loudon is the Cwalina Distinguished Professor of Medicinal Chemistry at Purdue University. His teaching awards include the Clark Teaching Prize (at Cornell), Purdue’s School of Pharmacy's Henry Heine Outstanding Teacher Award (1980 and 1985), the Class of 1922 Helping Students Learn Award, the Charles B. Murphy Award, membership in the Teaching Academy of Purdue and listing in Purdue’s permanent “Book of Great Teachers”, and designation as the Carnegie Foundation “Indiana Professor of the Year”. Most recently, Dr. Loudon has been involved in chemistry curriculum re-design for life-science majors and pre-health profession students with the NEXUS program of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. James Parise is a Teaching Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame, where he lectures organic chemistry. Previously, he taught and coordinated organic chemistry laboratories at Duke University. Dr. Parise’s research interests include development of more effective teaching methods for large lecture courses and improving organic chemistry pedagogy in both the classroom and laboratory. He administers an instructor-training program in organic chemistry and is currently developing auxiliary courses aimed at supplementing student preparation for introductory organic courses.
