It also serves students who have already taken specialized courses in Physical Organic Chemistry, Stereochemistry, Spectroscopy, etc. This is an ideal text for all students who have previously taken a one-year course in Organic Chemistry. While emphasizing new material, it still gives you the opportunity to review important concepts and principles in novel settings. This is an ideal text for all students who have previously taken a Miller's "Advanced Organic Chemistry," Second Edition discusses important organic reactions and mechanisms not usually covered in depth in Introductory Organic Chemistry courses.
