Thread: Organic chemistry 7th edition by Jonh McMurry

Does any one know or read the book:Organic chemistry 7th edition by Jonh McMurry?

I'm reading that book and got a lot of questions, needs for help.




Please and thanx

Since the questions are unlikely to be unique to that particular text why don't you just ask.

hi i red this book and my be i can help you
and there are CD come whit book you can use it for stereochemistry
sorry for my ENGLISHE

Sorry When i bought the book I was given no CDs and the on-line sign-up is not available.

Coz' some of qiestions related to the text.

ok then you can just ask me

i use this textbook as a referance book, although my notes suffice i find.
They give a deep understanding as they are, and my lecturers and tutors are very good at teaching organic chem.

however i use an older edition, but i gather that there is not much difference.

so fire any questions you have.

in Claisen Ester Condensation
Formation of B-keto esters from carboxylic esters

why the -OR group is a good leqaving group
we now that the alkayl group is releasing the electron and o has a negativce charg and she don't need to electron so why

Oh Gosh!

I'm still suffering asking every additonal problems annex to it.

next time when it publishes the 8e, I hope McGrawHill can fix this problem or at least they should call it "Organic chem (no answers edition)".....

Come on is any one can help with the ANSWERS of the Addition problems ?

I'm earnest about the answers.
I think every students can understand the bad feeling that you find no banchmark to check whether you've done is on the right treckor not.....That's means no matter what vast number of excises you've done might be all in vain, isn't it?

Then I need you guys help..

-OR is actually a rather bad leaving group in a general sense. However, "bad" is a relative term and reactions can still proceed that involve bad leaving groups. The issue is important when you have a choice of two different leaving groups, but it isn't so important (as here) where there is only one possible leaving group. The reaction is also driven to the right thermodynamically.
