: Exploration of acids and bases, photochemistry, and the effects of structure and medium on overall reactivity. Part 2: Nature and Scope of Organic Reactions Part 2: Nature and Scope of Organic Reactions
: Detailed analysis of localized and delocalized bonding, molecular orbitals, aromaticity, and bonding weaker than covalent (e.g., hydrogen bonding). : Coverage of optical activity
March's Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure is a comprehensive reference that organizes the vast field of organic chemistry into two primary parts: theoretical principles and specific reaction types. The text gives equal weight to reactions, mechanisms, and structure, serving as a foundational resource for graduate students and professional chemists.
: Coverage of optical activity, chirality, absolute configuration, and the principles of molecular shape.
The first nine chapters establish the theoretical framework of organic chemistry.
